@colorGray10: #AAA;
@colorGray11: #BBB;

The label being grayed out is important. The
outline being closer to
white also helps a lot, but as you said, when it's alone the outline change
is not enough. I think the gray fill is still a little dark, maybe use
#f5f5f5 if you can swing it, but B is getting close.
