Quote - I also agree that the colors still need improvement. Especially in contrast reduction.

Right nor the best segment contrast-wise is the header and the buttons on the header. But the whole group is way too bright compared to the rest of the page.

Another good match is right here in the forum: the post body/comment background and the overal page background (3 simlar but yet distinctly different shades of gray). Again this group works well by itself, but it is too contrasting with the site header.

Yup, that's kind of my thoughts on it.  In the forums, once you scroll past the header, things look ok...not fond of all the depressing gray, but that's personal taste.  It's the header + rest of page that has too much contrast.  If it were just the thin menu bar the shades it is witht he rest of the header closer to the color on the background of the side panels I could possibly live with it, and the page would look much more unified and cohesive overall - IMHO.  It's mainly that it's such a large swath of bright on the top of the page that creates all the contrast issues.

Product pages and Wishlist pages are particularly bad - with far too much bright white, with dark greay boardera and frames.  It is very hard on my eyes.
