I am trying out the new "Prospecto" font and I find the contrast too low. Comments and strings are especially hard to read.

Here is a handy tool I found that tells you if a colour choice is too low contrast according to w3c's web content accessibility guidelines:

Thanks for the links, John - I will add them to the Orion accessibility page.
Anton, comment 0 references a little tool where you can type in colors to see if they have high enough contrast.
