Please please don't write grey on white. It's illegible. I have to ctrl+a all the time. Black on white, like most books. Also take into account that the user may disable websites picking their own fonts. I do this because I don't want to download them fonts for no apparent reason and because it's usually illegibly thin type. Thin type + #ddd color only helps in the process of becoming blind.
Off topic: while at it, I wish pages used the first screenful for more meaningful information.
- sdfin 9y agoI don't know why this was downvoted. For people that have astigmatism grey on white is not very pleasant for reading.
- mrgoldenbrown 9y agoYour last sentence is not quite off topic. If we didn't have to scroll past so many useless giant stock photos before getting to actual content, we wouldn't need to spend as much time looking at screens :)
