> I personally thought the screenshot labeled "have to do better than this" was the most readable. The one after that just looks faded.

Hm. I like the "better" one more. However, it's cheating -- the first screenshot displays a lot of white text in the filters and the text of the questions. The text of the questions is most of what I find off-putting about the first screenshot.

The second screenshot displays no white text at all. The filters menu isn't visible. The text of the questions isn't visible. Text that's gray in the second screenshot is also gray in the first screenshot.

What kind of comparison is this?
