Not sure why it would be washed out for you. But the easy fix could be to change the "preferences" to dark.
Hover your mouse over your name in the upper right side of this page. A window will appear. Click on "Preferences" In the styles drop-down menu, choose the dark style and save it at the bottom of the window (you will have to scroll down to see the save button)
see if that works better for you.
