Subject: Color choices

Here is a list of colors from the so-called "browser safe palette":

As you can see, a lot of them are unreadable, difficult to distinguish from
black in this font, or just look pukey or muddy.

If too many people dislike the colors, we can go back to all black, or maybe
just find a couple of good colors we can all live with, and not use so many
different levels of color.  We probably should avoid the blue and violet link
colors for obvious reasons.

I may also be able to offer various color options customizable by each user (as
well as other viewing and filtering options), by using cookies (gasp!), or
possibly by storing settings for each user on the server.  But these ideas would
have to wait for a different time of year.
