The problem I find with the light/dark, dark/light business is that it can be somewhat dependent on the background, which the code generating the numbers has no knowledge of, and there is a crossover point: is grey dark or light?

Can you not put both a dark and light border on each? If the outer one blends in, the inner one will stick out.
taking a break from cc, will be back sometime in the future.

Yes. We are starting to go in circles on this point. That is what I said originally here, which agentcom commented on but modified to suggest light outlines on dark text and vice versa. My Greasemonkey script, the Conquer Club Contrast Corrector, or C4 (boom, baby), does the double outline.
