User blog comment:NOBODY/Wikia's Halloween contest - what will the Nitrome Wiki look like?/@comment-5055855-20131031124107/@comment-3060206-20131031160711

That's because there are background colours specified for the left column but not for the right. The background was meant for black text, and the original wiki colour was grey, so its background on the right did not make much of a difference. Perhaps you want to give the right column a colour or something. Also, colour to the text can be added by typing "color:black;" within the style parameter, no need to use the colour template.
