I think I've successfully overridden bootstrap's ignoring of the browser 
font size. I agree, that is quite annoying.

I've adjusted the background to be lighter, and the text to be darker.  
But, haven't quite gone all the way to either black or white.

Yes, the original normal color for the text on the navbar did have poor 
contrast. I've adjusted that to be the same color as the normal 
background color for the site, and a blue for the hover color.

Thank you for the detailed feedback.
