The default Garland error message is red on red. This may be difficult to read for people with colorblindness or sucky monitors.

I ran the colors through the Colour Contrast Checker at http://snook.ca/technical/colour_contrast/colour.html. It said the color difference is sub par. A text color of #A30000 would pass accessibility guidelines.

Attached the original colors.

This makes error messages slightly less painful. :)
