Well, yeah. The idea is to use a different color, since that's
what those brandishing the axes are clamoring for. The pale blue
is at about the same brightness level as gray80 and so should be
about as readable. We can use pale pink instead on odd numbered
releases, for equal gender representation, if that's desired. :)
Color discrimination varies widely between individuals. Some people
are colorblind. I've read that it's considered poor interface design
to distinguish interface elements by color alone - there should also
be a difference in absolute brightness level. I've seen this pointed
out in books on human-factors engineering for interface design (sorry,
no references handy) - try setting your display to monochrome to see
what might be confusing for colorblind users.
