Regarding the contrast of the header, is it that it’s too dark unless viewed at a certain angle? I’m viewing it on my laptop and also experience this occasionally.
Yes, that’s about it. At most angles there is hardly any contrast between the green background gradient of the header and the tab colour /picture border so it appears just to be one block colour. However, get the screen angle right and the contrast is there and it’s nice and subtle.
Also, thank you for pointing out the link colour choice and its legibility with colour blind visitors.
I’m not colourblind so I’m not pointing out a problem, just an area worth checking out. AFAIK, most colour blindness is red-green and your site uses a red-on-green icon in the header and green hypers.
I tried running it through the link you referenced but alas, it wouldn’t work. Thank you for bringing the point up, I shall most definitely look into it.
Yeah, I couldn’t get it to work on the site either. You can however, take a screenshot and upload that to the simulator and it’ll post its simulation as an image. Unfortunately it posts a thumbnail which is too low res to be much use checking the site. There seem to be some photoshop plugins too but I haven’t tried them (as I don’t have photoshop).

Hi Jina,
just found this simulator if you are interested, it seems to work fine with your site.
BTW, I agree with the above two comments!
