I've tryed out other colors, but only white or black can be read good enough.
I always design my sites after the principle "less is more". It would not look very well to use a completely new color only because of these links. Believe me, I'm learning digital media designer since over 2 years. Normally it would suffice to let the links like they are at the moment, at least because of the design. There is not very much text on the separate artist sites, so everybody, who would read a little bit, would see the words: "avaiable galleries" and would know, that the following words "pictures, drawings, computerart and artwork" have a function, if you click on it.
But other opinions are also important for me, because of that I started this posting.
