Signs of the Times

So there's this poster on CTA buses advertising a clinical study for a pain reliever for post-shingles pain. At the top there's a picture of a man in pain and the headline against a gray background that says "Are your shingles gone but the pain remains?"

The problem is, the word shingles is in orange that's the same shade as the gray background -- that is, no contrast.

So I read it as "Are your thingies gone but the pain remains?"
