I don't. I find them hard to read.

Different people, different vision systems... one friend a special 
convention ribbon was made up for, unfortunately the ribbon was slightly off 
as regards design with colors for him to not be able to read (his color 
vision has some unusual anomalies, it's not one of the more common red-green 
colorblindness of the less common than red-green but still more prevalent 
that whatever he has, yellow-blue colorblindess.

Hmm, it just occurred to me to wonder about SF covers and people with 
non-normal color vision.  Maybe the old Baen covers on Lois' books don't 
look quite so appalling to them....
