Hello,
I use this settings to underline definitions and it works fine.
Maybe you can try to change the 0.25 and 0.75 values to 0.5.
One the the value is for the box color and the other is for the
background (I don't remember which one).
You can also change the definition of the color (I haven't tried):
\definecolor{TheColorName}{rgb}{RedValue, GreenValue, BlueValue}
with RedValue, GreenValue and BlueValue values between 0.0 and 1.0
I don't know what are the values for a gray color.
