My pet peeve is low contrast, makes it really hard to quickly distinguish between parts of the page.
Simply by changing the light grey background for something much darker makes the individual charts and boxes pop out, making it so much easier to compartmentalize the information.

Most web style guidelines that I'm familiar with inherit this recommendation, including Material. https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/visual-audio-contrast-contrast.html https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/visual-audio-cont... https://material.io/design/usability/accessibility.html#color-contrast https://material.io/design/usability/accessibility.html#colo...
