Looks fine with #ff9, I think.

The problem with yellow is that it's sort of confusing to contrast it with red;
it's usually used as a middle ground between green and red. Blue doesn't have
that kind of connotation.

If you do use yellow, though, don't use #ff9, use something more pastel (to
match the red).

What kind of blue? Keep in mind the table header is blue as well.

The red and green are #ffe2e2 and #e2ffe2 respectively, so #e2e2ff would be
logical.

patch for main.css for Special:Allmessages color (blue)

OK. I don't really like yellow anyways. ;)

The diff fixes /skins/monobook/main.css, but the site seems to be running on
http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/monobook/main.css. Does that mean it's using
v1.5 of monobook?

While I like blue, this combination makes me shudder. Too reminiscing of
Wikipedia boilerplates :(

Although both colours (blue and yellow) are perfectly capable, the preferred
colour is a personal issue too. I prefer, however, yellow, because it has a
higher contrast and seems to work better on LCD-screens: colour difference
between the red and yellow is always high and does not depend on the vertical
viewing-angle (which is not the case if blue is used).

No.

The default color these days seems to be green and yellow. Is this a problem?

FWIW I don't see any colours at twn atm.

If you would not abbreviate every second word, maybe I could read it.

For what it is worth, I don't see any colours at translatewiki.net at the moment. Will you fix it now?

Where do you see this? As far as I can see it is still red and green.
Did you change your monobook.css yourself?
Anyhow, green and yellow is a nice colour palet for colour blind people.

No, I didn't change mine. I was just severely confused for about 5 minutes.

Default colors are yellow & green. I just checked again myself (also fixed some broken IDs in r54692, might've been cause of confusion above). Any red/blue customizations would be because of enwiki or elsewhere.
