Attachment: Issues with color changes

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0
Build ID: 20121005155445

Steps to reproduce:

I've been on the site being a contributor for a short while and the release just came out.


Actual results:

Although the site looks better in most regards,  the colors of almost all the links went to "light-blue" on a grey (Sandstone) background.  I do have readability issues with that.  The color contrast is not enough.  It should be much darker, like "dark-purple" for links.  The "light-blue" would work well for visited links (or read messages for example).


Expected results:

I got caught in the rollout! Some issues have been fixed but others have not yet been filed.  So I'm filing a bug on this issue.

This one seems a bigger issue than https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=800610 which is related to it.
