Sorry, off topic. But the red design of the tables is awful.

I'm happy to modify it if you can suggest improvements. I don't have the greatest eye for design.

I am not a design expert either. But red tables on dark background feel uncomfortable for eyes when you are in a dark room. I'd suggest to make them darker (which will also add some contrast to the white text) and to use a more neutral color.

You're right; the red was too loud.

I changed the background to a light purple and switched to plain black text. Do you find it easier to read?

Yes. I think this is better.

PS Unfortunately, now the contrast between table cells is almost lost. Don't know if it was intended.
