Hey there, when placing an uncommon item on some backgrounds the contrast of the name can be really bad, making it really hard to read. For examle this is the sidebar info panel of an uncommon nuclear reactor. Maybe adding some kind of drop shadow or dark outline to the text could help. This also seems to be depending a bit on display, on one of my screens the text is quite well readable, on others its nearly indistinguishable from the background, especially with the partially transparent background.
Web contrast compatibilty adivce suggest it as well: https://webaim.org/resources/contrastch ... lor=E2CBA9

Same for legendary, which is a shame. At the risk of wandering into ideas and suggestions territory, in my opinion showing the rarity icon (above normal) instead of coloring the text would be much more readable.

The quality name is already there in text, presumably for colorblind users. Coloring the text that way just makes it so none of us can read it. Maybe limit the saturation of the text color to maintain contrast?
