User blog comment:Rupert Giles/Introducing Updated Global Navigation/@comment-3032314-20140925055334

I have one major complaint: the light-gray color (#c8d2d7) has almost no contrast against a white background, according to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Please use a darker color instead, so that people with poor vision can read the navigation bar too.

I made a dark blue "skin" with more contrast, if anybody's interested. You can see what it looks like below, and you can get the CSS here.
