I think you make a good point about the warm colors – they happen to be the visual code for “link” on the site though, so there is a symbolic element to the choice.

But the grey background behind the links allows the column to remain black type on white; the highest point of contrast. [It's relative.] Not sure it quite trumps the warm hue though.

I am curious as to why you chose a high-contrast menu with warm colours to pull the eye away form the text though.</p> Interesting article.
