If this doesn’t make the cut for big enough issue, feel free to close with extreme prejudice. 🙂

Dropdowns, e.g. while editing category permissions:

And on admin/badges are rather difficult to read. I’m currently using:

```css
body input, body select {
    color: #000;
}

```

But since CSS customizations are stripped out of admin I tend to get the light grey on white a fair amount, and it might be good to have fixed in general.

That one is pretty bad. We can add that one to the list. cc @tgxworld
