CSS might be the ansver trough. The only thing missing is a class that each section has.
addBodyClass(‘category-’.Mage::getBlockSingleton(‘catalog/navigation’)
->getCurrentCategory()
->getParentCategory()
->getUrlKey()
);
?>
This piece of code adds the urlkey of the current categories parent category inside body’s class tag. And the class added is the same that is present on the parent page of the category. How cool is that :D

For pages with multiple level childs, it is also possible to loop that untill you get to the top parent.
