Bug Description

Our current background (#fafafa) and foreground (#666) colors are not WCAG 2 AAA Compliant (and consequently our site is difficult for some users to read). To make it compliant, the #666 foreground color can be slightly darkened to #555.

Check compliance here: http://snook.ca/technical/colour_contrast/colour.html

I don't agree with #fafafa and #555 it is not compilant like you see in test. Darker color #444444 is compilant.

Now set to #555. It can be set darker if you still think it's too light.
