https://vote.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:SecurePoll/list/1436&offset=Ferien&limit=500&sort=vote_voter_name .securepoll-old-vote uses the current color, #666.

https://vote.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:SecurePoll .securepoll-election-closed uses #aaa, which is much better. I'll probably write a patch to change it to that.

To be clear, for users of low-vision the newly chosen color would mean that information is inaccessible. I would suggest a different choice, like a much darker color and add additional styling.
From your example of “Hawkeye7”, it uses italic font styling.
