Comment 16 for bug 64408

usplash-theme-ubuntu has a reasonable palette index (a bright orange), and changing it to various numbers only randomly causes the text to be blue or invisible.

This does not happen on powerpc, where the bogl backend is used (amd64 and i386 use the libsvga backend). So while we could still ponder changing the Ubuntu theme to a brighter color, the real bug is in usplash's svga backend.
