template is too bright

It should be dimmed down, and also color intensity should be less (more gray). (Chunbum Park 19:59, 11 September 2009 (UTC))

Is the goldenrod better than the gold? I'm trying to get some semblance of goldfish colors, so I don't want to stray to far from gold/orange. Drew R. Smith 01:10, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
