Yes, I have always complained about colors and schemes and other areas where they should be taking more time to review. It all adds up and seems sloppy (IMO).
As for the example you posted, it looks great because they chose to use a contrasting text color.
Peregrine chose to use a WHITE font with a pastel background. It was not the webmaster who chose the colors either. The chart looks like it was done in Excel and screen captured. That is why there is a slight degradation in quality.
Nuke: Just for laughs but here are 2 THINGS which I myself would somewhat consider "knit-picking" about the website. On the other hand, I work with Healthcare and in IT and one would be amazed at how "knit picky" Doctors are.
1. When a visitor accesses the Investor Link and any of the sub links, the Peregrine Tag line about being a Clinical Stage... company is missing.
2. If a visitor clicks on the head links and sub-links, there is a glitch in the way the tag line text displays. The indentation of the text is off. It is very subtle and does not manifest itself all of the time but it is easily reproducible and noticeable. Reminds me of the cat in the movie The Matrix. It also shows up for ONLY 1 FRAME (If you were to record it). In the top image, you can see the shadow of the menu disappearing. This is the one frame where the indentation issue occurs.
In the end, Peregrine "should" be performing a better job of website oversight and review.
