Color contrast issue in Celerity

[branchandroot]

A support/bug item was put in by a user who found the cream background color, in the Celerity site scheme, difficult to read on. I wanted to bounces this around here and ask if anyone else has had or heard of similar problems.

If it's an isolated issue, it will probably be best to deal with it via that user's browser styles. If it's more wide-spread, then the scheme should be changed.

The current background color is #f9f9f0 and the text color is #222211. Should these be edged further apart? I would like to strike some kind of happy medium between too-high and too-low contrast, though this may, in the end, not be possible.

We actually need to fix Lynx so it has no missing links; I prefer Lynx too, for navigation reasons, but it's not fully-featured.

Which links are you discussing here - the ones in the create/organize/read/etc. menu, or links like join/subscribe this community and so forth which are usually in a sidebar?

I have a plan for the former, but hadn't thought of the latter yet. I'll post it now...
