Re: Question about default colors

Hi
I personally don't agree. If the webmaster uses images for logos or
rounder corners then he is forced to set background-color (in other
way the site would look silly/horrible) but he still want to allow the
user to specify his own font color. For Instance if the user uses
green/red/brown/etc. color there is no reason to not allow him to use
it. Since the CSS doesn't allow to specify the color that CAN'T be
used the best solution in that case is to use default system font
color.
Regards Michal.
