Green toned down
Links still yellow, black bg when hovered
Dunno about the headings - bue looked weird. pastel red looks washy

Any Ideas?

I dunno.  I'm still not convinced that BODY PRE should have a different 
bgcolor than BODY.

A couple of other things:

1) You use yellow twice--unvisited links, and header text.
2) Visited and unvisited links use almost identical colors.
3) The difference between the light gray text and lime green text makes 
the lime green seem like it should be a link.

This color report brought to you by an Apple PowerBook G4 17".
