# 'Subscribe' button text unreadable

 * Thanks for an awesome plugin – saved me hours with the CSS, I’m quite sure!
 * I have a light contrast colour (#f5f5f5), light background colour (#d5d5d5) and
   dark accent colour (#005b9a) – website at [http://atmac.org/](http://atmac.org/).
   The search box magnifier glyph and ‘subscribe’ button both use the accent colour
   as background – the magnifier is rendered in a light colour which works well 
   but the ‘subscribe’ text is black which makes it almost unreadable with the dark
   accent colour. I think the fix here would be to use the magnifier’s colour on
   the subscribe button too?
 * I realise it’s a tiny tiny tiny thing, but the plugin is so perfect I thought
   a report would be useful 🙂 I’m happy to just put a bit of CSS in for myself,
   but I’m guessing others probably have similar issues. Anyway, thanks again for
   an awesome plugin.

 * Shoot, this was on my list but I thought it had fixed itself when I couldn’t 
   reproduce it again. All you’ll need to fix it for now is:
 *     ```
       .widget input[type="submit"] {
       color: #fff;
       }
       ```
   
 * For others: the issue is present for certain button types only, in this case `
   input[type="submit"]`. The `color` should be `#fff`, but that’s overwritten by
   the sidebar color change due to the light contrast color sometimes. You need 
   the combination of a light contrast color, dark accent color, and a button that
   doesn’t explicitly have white text color to reproduce.
 * The fix will be in the next plugin update, but one just went out today so it’ll
   be a while. See [https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/839517/fourteen-colors](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/839517/fourteen-colors).

 * Fantastic – that does indeed fix it perfectly. Thank you!
