It's the first time in a while that I have looked at 38 min so seeing Green text was a shock to me.  Is it just me or does it not contrast well with the background?  And now anyone who is Green colour blind is going to have difficulty using the site.  The site does look cleaner and more professional though.  I think the text should be changed from Green to a darker colour or Black.

I think it's that they have difficulty distinguishing it from other colours - most commonly red and green. Will see if anyone else reports a similar problem - I personally can read it fine but of course that doesn't mean everyone else can.

Hi Nicola I definately agree that the site does look more modern and fresh with its new look.  I can read the header fine as it in big text but it's the smaller text i'm having trouble reading.  With colour blind people, is it they can't see the colour at all or they have difficulty perceiving it against certain colours?  Thanks

Hi Chris - I changed the structure and colours as I felt the site was looking cluttered and needed freshening up and modernising. Happy to take feedback and if other people say they have difficulty with the green I'll consider changing it. However I'm not sure people who are colour blind would have a problem - my partner is colour blind but it means he has trouble distinguishing green from red, not reading green against white. Anyway, all feedback is welcome.
