Dimmed chat

Once I got 1.8 I noticed a bug immediately instead of chat being the normal color it was a shade of gray I got upset because I couldn't read chat so whenever I wanted to play on a server I had to go back to 1.7.10 then 1.8.1 is released I get super excited expecting to see chat again and it is still hardly readable so now when I go on to servers I can hardly make out what anyone is saying and in the position of being an admin on multiple servers chat is very important, I'm sure you guys can fix a bug like this thankyou!
