It feels like we’re arguing semantics for the sake of it, you’re entitled to your opinion, as am I. You misinterpreted what I meant from the start, maybe I could have been more explicit. Whatever the case, have a good evening.
It felt like you kept trying to reframe what you actually said rather than admit to being mistaken. You bemoaned the choice of grey/white over black/white. I pointed out studies showing dark grey/white to be objectively better - and rather than say “mb I meant light grey specifically”, you tried to BS about dark grey being rendered as light grey, and black always appearing black - based solely on your own experience. It’s cool - I’m done. Have a good evening.
You said “White background & gray text” in your original post - not light grey.
“From my experience of using screens like this for years”
Literally anecdotal. Search for “washed out black screen” - countless examples of black appearing grey.
“No developer ponders what shade of black to use”
And the evidence shows that if it’s on a white background, they should be pondering what else to use.
I agree that web developers/designers should be better informed about this - but the trend is probably in the right direction.
