CUNY Academic Commons

Let me clarify: it's the text color that appears in the group description. Text in other parts of the group page looks fine.

here's an example: http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/digital-humanities-initiative/home/

Text color looks good on the group descriptions. The text on the timestamp next to activity stream items is too light, though -- I'd make it the same as the "posted an update in" text. Let me know if you want a screenshot.

and thanks!

It is the same color as the "posted an update in" text. Might not look that way because of the yellow background.

I made it darker. See what you think on cdev.

In that case, I'm going to disagree with you. Making it darker means making everything in an activity update nearly the same color. The timestamp is a relatively unimportant piece of metadata that should remain unseen unless you're looking for it.
