Personally, I found the previous (background light) scheme very workable. The green header names blended non-intrusively against my white background, and the header contents being similarly mostly green but with subject & author made to stand out a bit made the whole thing just visible enough to be noticeable when needed, while not visually offensive. If that's fruit salad, well, just shoot me now, I guess. I tend to find the hierarchical colorization of quoted text _far_ more fruit-salady, but even that I rather like. I don't get stuck on the header colorization because to me it's really a rather mild set of selections.
