Keep in mind that we already are using 2 colors of blue, links by default have yet another color of blue and visited links have a magenta color. The color-challenged people would already see that text as italic, there's no reason for the non-color-challenged people to _not_ take advantage of being able to distinguish a different color. If you don't like green, then fine, the other options are a) pick a different color b) make the text bold. I think bold is too distracting and a color that is a) hue-similar to blue and b) closely dark to black, is the best choice: green. > By the way, are you using a font that is a bit smaller than the body = text > to render the examples? =C2=A0I find it harder to read. Why do people have problems reading small fonts? That's exactly the same font-size you'll see on Wikipedia, Google, and many other sites: 'small'. Do you have problems reading Wikipedia?

By that logic no web site should ever choose a different font-size than 'normal', and of course they do. --=20 =46elipe Contreras
