Bob, the SI guys (and gal) are almost impossible to see with the blue background. It's not just you. Looks much better against the grey, though the dark blue color makes it look like a rubber stamp. (OK, don't ask me how a color makes it look like a rubber stamp. Isn't that blue a "rubber stamp color". Oh, now I get it - the analogy isn't quite right. That's the "U.S.D.A" stamp color. This will be lost on the vegitarians... :) ) BTW, the only way I know that the one of the right is a "gal" is because she looks just like an ex business partner from many years back. She was a hippie. Wore hats like that and definately the little John Lennon glasses. How she landed the gig as an SI model, I will never know. Oh, the long hair. That, too. But it could be Ted Waitt without the ponytail. No, it's a "gal", because it's Carolyn. Dead ringer.

The "SI Guys" are just visible enough (against the original blue), subtle hint is all that's necessary. That blue field's original intent was contrast to set off the links. That's the most important function. "I like the overall look of having the blue background on the right side, but for you non-colorblind folks, does it also make the "SI Guys" harder to see? Which might be a good thing in that they're ornamental and not necessary visually for functionality?"
