Limit use of low contrast fonts
I have a big, but I think important ask. My vision is not crisp, in fact worse than that. In order to read text, I require fairly high contrast. When light grey font is used, it is a blur, even when enlarged, to me and others with less than acute, young eyes. The Mountaineers Templates use quite a lot of light grey font and it is not editable. When doing web design for the Mountaineers, could you please consider making it a point to use black font on light backgrounds or white on dark backgrounds so that we all can read it without such a struggle?

This idea is transitioning to priority and will be considered as part of a larger project to make changes to fonts and colors to improve the user experience for everyone.

An idea around improving the colors of the navigation bar for volunteers and staff (Make ALL Text in theLeft Navigation Column White GH1691) has been merged into this idea.

The red (private), yellow (pending) and purple (shard with committee) are difficult to read on a light blue background and are distracting. Make all the text in the left navigation column white, no matter its state.
Not: We'll keep the colors in the folder contents view.
