Re: typeface colors and contrast: how light is too light?

Teal-ish? Wouldn't look bad for a heading. Or you could use it as a
background and reverse the text to either white or one of the other light
colors. You can use a medium-to-light shade for table gridlines and for
lines around headers and footers or for lines above and below headings.
HTH!
