Number one, thats not how seizures work. I would know, my brother has epilepsy and seizures can be caused by bright rapidly flashing lights, not bright colors.

Number two, come on man, let people at least have the freedom to choose the color of their infoboxes In regards to the seizure part, I was being hyperbolic.

And here's the thing about number two - people DO have the freedom to choose the color of their infoboxes. Their only limitation if this passes would be specific combinations.

For example, if the part behind the text is pastel, the text can't be pastel because then it'd be unreadable. Or, if the part behind the text is dark, the text can't be dark because again, unreadability. And everything can't be fucking neon because... Ow.

And as a few people have testified - many of our users have to wear glasses, and thus, eyebleeding infoboxes would strain their eyes heavily. They may even go blind! Thus, although it doesn't give our users complete creative freedom, it will ensure that nobody goes blind because of us, and quite frankly, I believe the ability to see is far more important than freedom of color choice.
