I don't know what you are seeing but this is what I see.... Please tell me how am I supposed to be able to read that number 3 entry which on my screen is navy blue on maroon. I haven't figured out how to turn a lamp on it hehe
my advice would be to tinker with your color/brightness settings (or if you have software that allows it) mutliple color/brightness profiles e.g one for desktop, one for EQ2 etc, etc. I've yet to see text ingame that i cant read due to color.
