While it's typical for cover designers to seek contrast, in the text, it's less typical, by far, to use colors that sort of conflict, rather than contrast with, the underlying image.

Sorry, but I cannot warm up to this cover. Gregg, I suggested last time that you take it to CoverCritics.com, and you didn't. Why not this one? Hell, why not the last one? It's not like they charge, they don't.
