Did they all vote republican?

They should be green or purple. Primary colors for heroes, secondary colors for villains.

The real question is... Why isn't your name dark blue yet?

Please, we all know they should be hot pink and neon orange.

They're evil because of their repressed desire to rave.

Being colour blind, having the villain names in red makes it real difficult for me to read. Which, I suppose is evil.

It's really not, it's just the contrast on the page.

It might make sense to make a color-blind friendly theme. There is a proper methodology for switching the pallet.

Which theme are you using? Is it as hard to read on any other theme you've tried?

It's just the contrast of the red names on a grey background. I'm partially colour blind, which basically means that my eyes can't tell the difference between certain colours and that certain colours meld into each other. It's not a major thing.

I have that issue with the blue names on the currently most recent theme that acts as default. I said before the site would be better off with one single skin that could be easily designed around.

I was going to do a mockup of a lighter blue hero text with a sample post, but then I couldn't figure out what font the theme used and ragequit. Is it Arial and I'm just dumb?

If I remember right, the original default skin worked pretty well, except maybe the Red scintillated a bit because it was the right type of a light grey. Ultimately, group colors rarely work with any color due to all the variations that were used. IE. Light Colors & Dark Colors & Reds. Maybe if we went with a solid black for those sections, but it might feel like overkill on the darkness.

There was an ultra new theme in the works to match the current style of the site that never came to fruition, and probably never will unless the forums become booming all of a sudden.

It also an unintentional effect that the Hero names get screwed in the Villain theme and the Villain names are harder to read on the Heroish themes.
