Font colours

This is a pretty ticky-tack thing, but thanks to the Civ4 colorcoding fun it made me think. The colors we have now in the pulldown are mostly not particularly good for at least one of the dark blue or grey backgrounds, wheras the colors that we as a board have grown to like to use (lime and salmon) aren't even in there. What we have is:
Dark Red
Red
Orange
Brown
Yellow
Green
Olive
Cyan
Blue
Dark Blue
Indigo
Violet
White
Black

(someone can quote me to see them on grey if they want)

YES, I'M AWARE THIS IS REALLY TRIVIAL, but as long as other internal things are being tweaked with and putzed around, it'd be nice to have font colors in the quick grab that actually did something besides strain the eyes and I can't imagine doing a find/replace of "green"->"lime" is a particularly complex process since it's just changing the tag output and display.

And I personally think it's funny that it's spelled 'colour' right next to the 'color' tag. We so British. Or confused.

    Quoted for greyness.

    Ah, thank you. I guess most aren't as bad on the grey as I remembered when we were testing colors in the thread, but olive, green, blue and brown are at least atrocious on the blue.

    I think lime should stay as it is, because it's funny when people do this:
    Man System Shock 2 is off the hizzy
    Limed for truth!
