> I have reduced the text color scheme to use only two shades of gray

Did you? I'm counting at least 4 gray colors, 3 of which are competing: The background, the text, the login field's text and the login field's background. Maybe there are even more different gray tones, I didn't check thoroughly.

Yes I did. The "4 gray colors" you mention are not part of the text color scheme.

I'm sorry that you despise the design so much. I've tried to remedy the stylesheet in response to your suggestions, but if you're going to suggest I lied, then I don't know what else to do.

Sorry, I overlooked the "text" part. That's why I was wondering.

I didn't expect that you would just fix a part of the design and ask for further advice, because, well, the further advice is obvious: Fix the rest of the color scheme, too. :-)

The text part was definitely improved, by the way. But in order to see whether the colors are good, we need to have a look at the fixed overall design. Judging such things from only a part is something that only very good artists are capable of, maybe not even those.
