It's supposed to show at least /better/ contrast than
http://automated-builds-secondlife-com.s3.amazonaws.com/hg/repo/cg_viewer-development/rev/227100/index.html

Color perception is widely different from person to person and from
monitor to monitor. In the newer version (227447), I see almost-black
letters on light teal background, and have no problems to read the text
like that.

Probably, the light teal (or drab green, as you call it) could be made
yet brighter, as its contrast to the surrounding background (white) or
interior background (light grey) is less important than the contrast to
the text. Alternatively (or additionally), the text could be make full
black. I didn't go full black in my user style (on which CG based the
newer stylesheet), because I didn't want to deviate too much from CG's
original design.

Cheers,
Boroondas
