re-reading this, and just thinking from a basic usability point of view,
blue and green are very close together in visual terms - the most common
form of colour-blindness is blue/green, which makes them much harder to
distinguish for a lot of people.

Could you consider picking a pair of colours which are less ambiguous, 
contrast-wise?  It must have been an arbitrary decision by someone at some 
point to use that pair of colours... with the benefit of more awareness of the 
needs of people with visual impairment, could we not change it to a "better" 
pair, with higher contrast between them?
Maybe remove the background stripe?
Maybe a pair of colours which are "complimentary", e.g. blue on yellow?

I am struggling to understand the reluctance to do anything about this -
could you help me understand this, please?
