something is off...

I'm looking at my site for the first time on two CRT monitors at work, on a Windows system, and I'm not quite liking it. Something is off.

Something about the two reds: the deep dark background is ok, but the not-so-dark text div is ... kinda off. and the text color is harder to read, depending on which of the two CRT's I'm using.

I could go with white as the text backgrounds and the deepest red as the text color, but I was trying to stay away from white this time. And grey might put me in Buckeye territory again.

Suggestions?

Reversed type is always harder to read than standard type. What about dark red type on the same lightly pink color as your header (#FFD9BF)...too girly? What about light yellow (#FFEF99) or a stronger yellow (#FFEF00)? Or the pink background with the strong yellow header bars? Or did you want to play off the colors in your sidebar, or from the picture in the sidebar...

(Can you tell I don't want to work on my project for work today?)
