   I've lightened the colour and tried a text shadow on the meta which matches the comment content. Here we have the same lighter colour, above without the shadow and below with the shadow.

   I've noticed that not only does the shadowless version appear lighter in colour, it also looks significantly bolder. This is in Chrome though and Webkit antialiasing hasn't been applied yet.

   Is this any better? If so, which one looks better on your display? It may be different to what I'm seeing as the previous shot wasn't bergundy on my screen but a pretty mid-range red. Maybe time to calibrate.

   The shadowless version is definitely an improvement, but you might want to run your colours through a colour contrast analyzer just to be 100%.

   Thanks again, Jeff. I'll tweak the shadowless and run it through Snook's tool if that's still around.

   Contrast Passed

   by Dave McNally

   Switched up the colours a bit, blended in the cite element between and checked for a pass on Snook's contrast checker.

   Easier on the eyes?

   I'll have to tweak colours in other places to match but if it works then it's worth it.
