(Calendar :: Sunbird Only, defect)

The colors in the color picker for calendars are too dark. This makes the text
on events hard to see in the graphical view. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a calendar. 
2. Pick any color from the color picker except those in the top row.
3. Try and read the event text in the graphical view.

Actual Results:  
The event text in the graphical view is very hard to read.

Expected Results:  
The color picker should have brighter colors (closer to #FFFFFF) in the color
picker for calendars. The top row is ok. The color picker should contain colors
that range from only slightly darker than those in the top row, all the way up
to the off-whites. Pure white should of course also be an option.

I think bug 248472 would be a better solution for this problem, because with
that solution you don't have to limit the palette of usable colors.

With bug 248472 fixed now, I don't think this bug makes sense anymore.

Marking WONTFIX.

not wontfix, but is invalid due to the bug you referenced, (due to original
comments).

Joel,
If reason for this Bug report was more you wanted to see *other* colors in the
colorpicker for cal, other than the dark ones, (regardless of text visibility)
please comment again and it will be new once more.

The bugspam monkeys have been set free and are feeding on Calendar :: Sunbird Only. Be afraid for your sanity!
