Comment 6 for bug 536984

Now I updated to the latest light-themes and I can confirm that the bug has not been fixed.

When selecting an element in the panel (e.g. top-level of Application menu) the text there has a grey/creamy colour - this colour does not contrast well with the background colour.

The attached screen-shot illustrates the issue.
To reproduce:
a) select Applications in the top panel menu and select Accessories
b) observed design:
at the place marked by 1. in the sceenshot one can see that the text colour is not white - as a result the contrast is not very good.
at the place marked by 2. in the screenshot the text colour is white and the contrast is excellent.

expected result:
The text in selected items in the panel (e.g. menu) should be white when the items are selected.

Additional observation:
In all other menus (e.g. if you open Nautilus and you select items via the Nautilus-application-menu) the selected items use white text - so in addition the current situation is inconsistent with the rest of the design.

The attached screenshot confirms the observation.
Using the gimp colour picker I got the following results:
 Colour of text "Application" in selected panel (top level) menu:
dfd8c8 (HTML notation)
Colour of text "Accessoiries" for the selected application item:
ffffff (HTML notation) for white colour

This confirms the inconsistent use of the text colour for selected items.
Please let me know if you need further explanations.
