pack colors, the 3.1 rule question

i personally also believe this decision should've been discussed with the community as the color change does effect majority of the packs, including many long-standing ones.

i agree with this 100% and I think now's a great time to start a discussion.

I can understand visibility being a problem, but I think adding a drop shadow (as rachel suggested) to things like thread titles and the who's online list would be a much better option.

I just.. don't see a point in changing the colors? People don't go to pack threads to focus on the titles or links, they go to read the posts which aren't affected by pack colors at all. And I can see similar pack colors being a problem in the future.
