Maybe I’m color-blind, but the gray/green distinction seems too subtle for me.
If it’s a standard effect that people under-estimate how much they’ll learn to use subtle colors, then of course ignore me. My guess is that I’ll learn to tell, but it will cost attention and I won’t be able to scan or unconsciously check, the way I do on other sites. The permalinks are not so difficult because they have nearby links for comparison, but links in the main text are difficult for me, despite their larger size.
(it works fine on the yellow background, just not white or gray)
Did green for non-followed links just get added?

I was just about to mention the same thing. It’s not enough for me to notice actively but enough to make me sick to my stomach.
