Well, logically, the purple gray issue should be a result of monitor settings/display variations. But, whatever it is, its more subtle than I expected. What color is this to the gray rep people, I wonders-
You talkin bout the "this" in italics? cause it looks like the surrounding text.. the smiley looks purple.
And you see the neutral rep as gray? OK, that's it, the place is haunted. Call the listowner for an exorcism.
