So I have noticed a trend on paizo.com forums and that is certain important posts made by the staff are made in very light blue text.
An example of this is Sara Marie's post (a Customer Service Manager) in the recent thread on the changes to the shifter here another example of this if you need it, just look at the instructions for how to format text when posting.
Now I'm really not speaking to the content of Sara Marie's post I understand it's important to mention the things she spoke of, that's not the point.
The point is that she used very light blue text to say it. Personally I can read it, but I know people who's eyes are not good, and have a hard time reading something if written in pencil rather than pen. However, this is much lighter than pencil, and what's worse, is on a screen, implicitly, which makes it even harder to read.
If you do have a problem reading this stuff I would recommend highlighting it, it helps a lot, though it's a bit silly to need to do this.
I just wanted to recommend to Paizo that you may want to change the color you use for this particular purpose, whatever that specifically is, particularly if you are going to use it to write a block of text, if for no other reason than it makes it less, perhaps much less likely that your target audience will read it, or want to.
Thank you
also if I posted this in the wrong forum I apologize I wan't really sure where to post it.

It's text. Usually used more in PBPs, its point is to allow for side talk while not immediately drawing the eye. Customer Service reps usually use it when posting moderation guidelines, to indicate that they are talking about something not directly related to the topic at hand, but rather with something related to website moderation.
The hue shading for links could stand to be darker as well.

That's what I was trying to say, I understand it's use, but it's execution is poor.

Thank you for the feedback! Color adjustments are something I'm actively exploring, so we may be able to tweak this a bit.
I solved the problem by making it . And then I use for bold attention getting.
