Description Carolyn MacLeod CLA 2017-02-13 12:16:29 EST 
Open a *.md file to see a markdown editor (LHS) and viewer (RHS).
Text in the viewer is rendered as html 'gray' (#808080), which is not enough contrast for WCAG 2.0 AA against a white background.

Further, markdown 'code' is rendered on an off-white background (#fafafa), so in order to have enough contrast against that as well, the .orionMarkdown 'gray' needs to be #737373.

Argh - just noticed the yellow #f7f7d5 selection background color that happens in the viewer when you select an item in the editor.
I need to change the #737373 gray text to be just a little bit darker still, so that it contrasts enough with the yellow. #707070 is the closest passing color.
