Molecular formula

This is a polyatomic cation. Should the molecular formula in the information box not include the net charge? i.e. C₅H₅N⁺ I'm no editor, but it seems the table works automatically to derive the molar mass from the formula included therein. I guess it stops working with an indicated charge superscript. If a correction is made, then a possible reformat of the information box for this article may be necessary.

Ball-and-stick model: nitrogen appears to be the same color as carbons

Perhaps it's my aging (if beloved) CRT monitor, but it looks as though the nitrogen atom in the model has the same color (black) as the carbon atoms.

This is also true of the corresponding illustration in the article on pyridinium chlorochromate. It would be good to check other articles on pyridinium compounds.
