Hard to see

I don't know about other folks' monitors, but this light shade of brown is super hard to see on the white for me. I would suggest hex 663300 as brown instead of F2DEB8:

This is better!

Than this!

Edit: The place I go for figuring out hex colors is here: http://www.psyclops.com/tools/rgb/ I just picked what looked like a nice dark brown from their default palette.

I made it a little darker, but not so dark that it would get confused with darkorange.

I think I'd like to leave it as the Version 2 example listed above as it preserves the spirit of the in-game formatting while avoiding the pseudo-black and pseudo-orange options. When put into context, it works pretty well. User:Blondeshell/Sig 20:39, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
