QuestionBackground post colouradminChris Maunder24 Sep '12 - 10:17 
I'm driving myself and our designer a little nuts trying to get a neat way of highlighting the current message in forums and so we've gone back to what we had, albeit with a different, and more complimentary colour.
 
Is the text of this message on the selected background easy to read, or us going back to white better for everyone, or (as I'm guessing) somewhere in the middle. A lighter shade, perhaps.
cheers,
Chris Maunder

The background and main text are OK but the pre-mouseover gray text at the bottom is putrid. Dead | X|

The small text (where it says things like Reply) is a bit too pale to read clearly

That color is pleasing to the eye and a lot easier to read the text. Nice! Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

Yeah I think it works and it kind of blends with your overall color scheme.
