I didn't like the purple version I did which is posted in the release part as I thought the transition between the gradients weren't subtle enough so re-done it again. Because I can't leave this sitting in my EXTRA.CSS, and will have to delete it from there, I'll just post it here (with the exception) I've added a featured tag on this one which can easily be removed.

.ctaFtBlock .sectionMain.ctaFtContainer {

I created this alternative to light blue, but it isn't styling the featured thread text:

Code:

.ctaFtThreadTitle, .ctaFtThreadTitlePage  {border-bottom: 1px solid #2d4973; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 #5881bf;}
.ctaFtContainer a.ctaFtThreadTitleLink, .ctaFtContainerPage a.ctaFtThreadTitleLinkPage { color: #c7d8f2; text-shadow: 0 1px 3px #111111; text-decoration: none; }
.ctaFtContainer a.ctaFtThreadTitleLink:hover, .ctaFtContainerPage a.ctaFtThreadTitleLinkPage:hover { opacity: 0.5; }

.ctaFtThreadText, .ctaFtThreadTextPage { color: #9eaec7; margin-top: 2px; }
.ctaFtContainer  .ctaFtThreadText, .ctaFtContainerPage  .ctaFtThreadTextPage a { color: #c7d8f2; font-weight: bold; }

  box-shadow: 0 0 3px #283e60 inset;  }

a.ctaFtReadMoreLink, a.ctaFtReadMoreLinkPage { color: #c7d8f2; }
.ctaFtFooter .ctaFtFeaturedThreadText, .ctaFtFooterPage .ctaFtFeaturedThreadTextPage { color: #c7d8f2; }

/* END Featured Thread Enhancement Blue END Start Featured Thread Enhancement Light Blue END */

It is wrapped in a DIV called:
Code: 
<div class="ctaFtThreadTextAvatarPage a.ctaFtThreadTextAvatarPage baseHtml">

Can't figure out how to change the color to a lighter color, it is currently dark. Probably due to something in my style properties but thought extra.css would over-ride that.
