When reading threads the name colors are in a rather pleasing muted burnt sienna, (perky but in a comfortable way) and "member" is in black. The borders are also in burnt sienna. When I hit the reply button (or caress it, as the mood dictates) the names now are in black, but the borders are still burnt sienna.
Of course those of us who have been elevated to (il) literati status, can be whatever color we wish.
