The text is larger, and thicker than usual text in a newspaper or book, and it is just as black, or even more black (measured on a calibrated display).
You might want to change your monitor, or recalibrate it, because it seems like this is an issue with your display.

- kuschku 9y ago> Poor contrast and unreadable font is still visible even on your screenshot, That’s an artifact of the camera, not the page. On a properly calibrated screen supporting the Rec.2020 colorspace with at least 1000 nits of color, this will have more than enough contrast. The big problem is that today, between #454545 and the background a user with a 1000 nits screen and one with a 100 nits screen will see a difference in contrast of almost an order of magnitude. TL;DR: Either you need to calibrate your screen, need a better one, or we need a way to specify the absolute brightness that a page should be shown with in code.
