Re-use code and UI from the digital services playbook #6

I think the general UI and design of the US Digital Services playbook works really well, especially the sticky nav that links to each sections ( which sort-of gets at #1 ). I also really like the visual hierarchy of its h2s, which help users scan through the names of each play. Could we re-use and adjust that code for this participation playbook?

Bringing this up again now that the digital services playbook is using the new federal web design standards.

Related, the blue background color for the introduction ( 'a9c2d1') is too similar to the hyperlink blue ('268cbf'). According to WebAim's contrast tool, it fails both WCAG AAA and AA: http://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/

For the near-term, I think it would be best to just remove the background, or use a very light gray – we found that our hyperlink blue is only accessible on a gray background if we use a 5% tint: cfpb/design-manual#295
