Accessibility: More distinction between tiles / sections of a page

It's really hard to see where titles start and stop, and having so much of the same monochromatic design everywhere makes the tiles flow into each other. I have a difficult time reading through a record and finding the information I need because the tile headers and content blend together. They aren't distinct enough.

If I could really get my way, I'd be able to color code the headers for different types of tiles: Biographical/contact info is red, relationships are blue, gift information is green, actions and proposals are purple, etc. Then I could move the individual tiles around the page according to priority but because they're visually similar, I never "lose" them. Especially when I reduce my browser size to work side-by-side with an Excel file or email and suddenly the tiles rearrange themselves.

    I just refreshed my NXT and saw that the colors and fonts for the website have added contrast and distinction! It is a lot easier to read now!

     

    We can probably mark this idea as "shipped", though I'd still like to have a color scheme on the tiles by type of record/data :)

    LOVE this Idea, Keri!  I'd also love to be able to control the font, font size, and font color.  Which is better than when NXT was in the initial EAP 3 years ago, but is still rather difficult to see at times (just as this screen is...typing in about 8 point font in a gray text on a white background).
