As I am red-blind, red looks very dark to me. So my advice would be, not to darken your text but to lighten it up. The white is very well readable.

Also, just use one of the tools faking color blindness and you will see how it looks.

Yours, Daniel.

I’m the author of the Blog LousigerBlick. The design is from the serendipity-template-pool. I chose it, because it looks cool, simple and is unusual.

And I never had thougt, that it would cause problems for colourblind-people. I knew that green-red is a bad choice… and I knew that colorblinds see red and green as grey… but obviously i didnt put this info together…

I will try to find a better color-composition that feeds the need of colorblinds too.

Perhaps you can give me a hint? Would darker grey for then text suffice? Or would lighter be better?

Yours Sincerely
Ansgar
