hover colors #91

Suggestion: Change the color of links with a gray main state to a color on hover (ex: red, blue, etc...). Should this be implemented?

Reasoning: The change in color is difficult to perceive, especially when transitioning from #333 to #000 Also, the addition of color would bring vibrancy and attention to the item with which the user is interacting.

In-the-wild examples I have wrangled thus far: ( list links .li1 li a, .li1 li a:visited and headers .head a, .head a:visited ... just a portion of the CSS potentially affected)

Sounds good to me. I'm still honing CSS styles as I do each build. The build before latest, the changes you mention were in effect, and in the latest build I had made them darker (not really intentionally, but due to the change in the gray scale color scheme); on top of having to rush a build on Friday, I did not have time to make sure I got the grays exactly the same from one build to the next.

Now that I have a moment to read your suggestions (not on vacation this time) I think I understand better what your suggesting.

I'd like to point out, for some of these examples you're seeing in the wild, the light gray version of the link is to designate that the link has been visited. For example, the news update example you provide, the second link is actually a visited color.

With that said, I agree that the link needs a color on hover.

The "Sports" example "normal" color is darker than it was before I made some recent changes. I'd like to lighten it up a tad and then, like you suggest, add a hover color.
