Muppets in web-space

Pol:
It goes on about bad colour schemes, and then uses black on deep lilac, which is a really bad contrast pair – I have a migraine from just trying to read to the bottom of it.
Time to practise what he preaches really.

From an HTML comment on that page:
You may have noticed the outrageous.css file, it’s deliberately set up to look hideous, as an example of picking inappropriate colour schemes, even if you might think that they look good.Aquarion:
outrageous.css is an alternate stylesheet, with bright green on olive text.

What’s wrong with black on lilac?

If it had actually been deep lilac, that would have been bad. I found it quite tasteful. My main complaint about that page is the fact that it contains the text "When I find a new equivalent, I’ll put it’s address, here."
