Green background for accepted answers

There's been a recent change to the site to display accepted answers with green text on green background. I'm finding that color scheme very hard to read. Could you change it back to black text on white background?

Second that. From an accessibility point of view it's not a great choice to print green on slightly brighter green.
Black on #EFFFEA seems okay.

Also agreed. I hadn't really considered the effect, but that just goes to show how commonly sight accessibility is completely overlooked. By all means highlight the text somehow, but it needs to remain highly contrasted. I suggest at most the faintest hint of green background, and black text so that the contrast is still strong.

I would suggest a lighter background, and black text.
