Another solution would be only to make the tops of the cards instead of the whole card a given color with no text on it.\r\n\r\nI'm assuming all this applies to the printable cars too."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/18F/methods/issues/comments/165564082","html_url":"https://github.com/18F/methods/issues/76#issuecomment-165564082","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/18F/methods/issues/76","id":165564082,"user":{"login":"jameshupp","id":6314097,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/6314097?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/jameshupp","html_url":"https://github.com/jameshupp","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jameshupp/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jameshupp/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jameshupp/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jameshupp/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jameshupp/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jameshupp/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jameshupp/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jameshupp/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jameshupp/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-12-17T19:52:45Z","updated_at":"2015-12-17T19:52:45Z","body":"I still like the consistency of white text on all the cards (and my own preference for white text on colors over black text on colors, but that's mostly a non-issue), and I agree with @jenniferthibault about the way the green and purple work better in the more muted palette of B, so that's my preference. But C works really, really well. If the black-white shift doesn't bug anyone else, I have no real qualms."}}
