Highlighting headings 3

The previous headings were plain, yet common. They were displayed with the same color as the body text and a bigger font size. But when I was looking at a page (ie. the about page) if it was a “whole” thing, I realized it wasn’t the way I like reading structured text.

Yes, a bigger font size is necessary, but if the heading isn’t highlighted, we couldn’t actually notice it. So, a colour change was appropriate. But — oops –, my background color is quite “dark” and the palette used in this design is kind of “red-gray-black”. The main text is white, so the heading had to be “redish” ( –is it a real word?).

But red over dark gray isn’t nice. In fact, it was worse than their previous style. So, with a little darker background color changing, it looks great. The headings are now more noticeable, thus, the text becomes more structured. Well, it’s the same structure, but that structure is more noticeable with highlighted headings.

P.S. - If you don’t see any changes on the pages, reload the stylesheet by pressing CTRL+R.
