Thanks for the explanation Brett. Just for clarification, I wasn't suggesting
changing label names or basic colors. I just think it is a bit more visually
clean to either use all muted or all bold tones for the colors. My personal
preference would be to use muted colors as they are good for visual learners as
well as less distracting for those of us that get easily distracted ;-)
