Okay then, so you use a generic taxonomy.php file in the theme. This
will be used for all taxonomy archives.

Then, in that file, you can do this to get the term and the taxonomy:

$object = get_queried_object();
$taxonomy = $object->taxonomy;
$term = $object->slug;

Your users don't need to know how it works, nor would they need to
edit CSS and such. That's a matter of implementation details, not a
matter of UI.
