The easiest would be to change the colors only a bit, let's say e.g. #menubar ul background color is the same as A hover/link/visited/... (#ff6600). So let's set the background color for #menubar ul to #ff6601 and they are not the same anymore, but the users eye won't see any difference and we don't have to look for new colors which fit well. Warnings are also gone (presumably). We could also change the color for visited links, e.g. to a darker orange or something like that if you wish. > > BTW, I could not find our present colour scheme at the DesignsByDarren.com > site. Did you grab it from another site? It's actually from http://www.oswd.org and the theme is called fruitopia: http://www.oswd.org/design/preview/id/3181 or http://www.oswd.org/files/designs/3181/Fruitopia/ .
