Please considering changing into something which introduces contrast.

$\begingroup$ Which contrast you do want? (the first one is the current color) i.imgur.com/I3i2d.png $\endgroup$– kennytmNov 1, 2010 at 15:50

$\begingroup$ @KennyTM: The accepted color on meta is quite nice. I guess the difficulty with the main site is that the green of the text is also rather bright, leaving little room for the background to be darker without making the text unreadable. But FWIW, I like #2 or #3. $\endgroup$– user856Nov 1, 2010 at 18:15

$\begingroup$ @KennyTM, to be honest, none of those! :) Something with character, like MO's #3b7a00 $\endgroup$– Mariano Suárez-ÁlvarezNov 1, 2010 at 18:30

$\begingroup$ @Mariano: i.imgur.com/jPmCR.png? :p Anyway, seems like you mean we should use "white-on-green" for accepted answer like Gaming. $\endgroup$– kennytmNov 1, 2010 at 18:37

$\begingroup$ Surely, the font should be white for that bg color! $\endgroup$– Mariano Suárez-ÁlvarezNov 1, 2010 at 18:42

2$\begingroup$ I don't understand why the site has so much text in subdued tones. $\endgroup$– Mariano Suárez-ÁlvarezNov 1, 2010 at 18:43

I have updated the accepted answer text/bg colors to match Beta theme's. Should be more readable than before.

$\begingroup$ The "accepted answer" background looks good to me now, but the text colour is slightly bluer than the "answered" text colour, and that seems odd. Perhaps keep the bg colour but make the text colour match the green of the "answered" text. $\endgroup$– user856Nov 4, 2010 at 6:42

$\begingroup$ @Rahul I have updated the accepted answer text color to match answered's. the change will be in the next deployment. $\endgroup$– JinNov 8, 2010 at 7:57

$\begingroup$ @Jin: It still looks the same to me. Can you check if the update has gone through? $\endgroup$– user856Nov 16, 2010 at 23:22

$\begingroup$ @Rahul, we have tested the colors on several monitors, PC and Mac and they seem fine. I suggest you check your monitor's gamma setting. Are you on an old LCD monitor? $\endgroup$– JinNov 17, 2010 at 16:30

$\begingroup$ @Jin: Oh, I wasn't saying it's too light or hard to read. I was just trying to point out that
.answered {color: #209814;}and.answered-accepted {color: #418370;}still don't match. $\endgroup$– user856Nov 17, 2010 at 17:52 -

$\begingroup$ @Jin: Thanks... I hate to nag, but I was hoping you'd change it the other way around, like I had suggested in my first comment. But if you feel it's better this way, I won't object. $\endgroup$– user856Nov 18, 2010 at 0:51
