 aesthetics too, and that's the difficult part :)

 Focus on aesthetics only is the reason of this contrast mess, isnt it?

 A classic marker would be the square brackets, eg. "[[Widgets]]"; or
 something less obstrusive, like the text-shadow property, thou it's still
 a classic, when (ab)used as stroke or outline.
