I couldn't see the difference between the light blue, the slightly darker blue, the blue-ish white and the blue background when in GRUB, after booting the TC2 Beta image.
this could be a fedora-logos packaging bug or it could be a bug in the syslinux theme.... the updated screen (which is not blue and against which the text is readable) was checked into fedora-logos on Sept. 8 and TC2 was built Sept. 9...
we tracked this down to an issue that i renamed the .png referenced in syslinux.cfg (it referred to a png as a jpg :) ) and this had repercussions in the fedora-logos packaging. Spot is gonna fix it so I'm reassigning to him. Thanks Bastien, this was a really good catch.
