The table between 1.1 and 2.0, is it supposed to be in magenta, blue and
brown? Red on blue and blue on red is an extremely bad idea,
readability-wise. Red often seems to float ahead of the screen/paper,
while blue seems to recede into the screen/paper. The combination makes
the text/image seem to move or oscillate and the eyes will quickly tire.
Furthermore, it seems that the colors chosen for that table have the
same saturation, this is also bad as it leaves for very little contrast.
Try to save a screenshot of the page as grayscale and you'll see what I
mean. You need to darken or lighten at least one of the colors, though
best would of course be to darken one and lighten the other.
