To whom it may concern:


okay, is it just me or does this color text (NAVY) really suck to read... don't get me wrong, blue is one of my favorite colors, but this s#it hurts my eyes man!

It disappears against the gray/brown THW backdrop and its even worse in text boxes!

Don't know if it's possible, but I suggest someone tints a bit more red/green into it or something.

anyway thats all......

p.s. put the same message here in blue to illustrate my point

Colors that look alike have a low contrast.
That's pretty basic.
Black and white are the exact opposites of eachother and have a high contrast.
That's why black lines stand out a lot on a white background.
Every color has its opposite... When you're in paint, just look for the inverse colors (or whatever it's called) tool and you'll be able to see for yourself.
