It has been alleged that the background color of navboxes (a pale pinkish-purple) makes reading blue (linked) text more difficult to read. The advantage of a very pale background color is that it helps set the navbox apart from other text on the page. Similiar colors are used in the right-side navbar. Likewise, similar colors are used in the left-side navbar on most state pages. It makes sense to differentiate nav material from standard text. | It has been alleged that the background color of navboxes (a pale pinkish-purple) makes reading blue (linked) text more difficult to read.

So far nobody has reported going blind reading text on the right or left navbars, so I doubt the same use of color in a bottom navbox in a genuine problem. | A possible alternative background color is the grey of the headers used in navboxes. Does anyone else have an alternative background color they want to propose? If so, please explain its advantages. | ||
No background color is certainly an option. However, it fails to differentiate navbox material from standart text material. | |||

I would like the MoS to encourage the use of background color in navboxes. [[User:DiltsGD|DiltsGD]] 17:59, 2 October 2010 (UTC) | I would like the MoS to encourage the use of background color in navboxes. [[User:DiltsGD|DiltsGD]] 17:59, 2 October 2010 (UTC) | ||
