Possibly the most accidentally appropriate and ironic project name  
choice ever, simultaneously.

Also blue text on a blue background is in fact a commonly exploited  
trick for hiding the small print on contracts, relying on the fact  
that the human eye focuses blue in front of the retina rather than on  
its surface, which causes blue text to fade into the background, and  
subconsciously deters people from attempting to read it because it  
causes discomfort.

<plug>https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-5080</plug> If you find  
the Dazzle colour scheme a problem please vote and comment there to  
get some visible weight behind the issue, to match the apparently  
common opinion.

Aimee.
