Indeed.
And #000 is closer to black than to grey, and makes for a better contrast to #ffffff, and hence easier to read for those of us mere mortals with eyesight problems.
(p.s. apparently my original comment got downvoted - my apologies if my comment was somehow offensive in some manner to someone - I honestly thought I was making a good observation. Or perhaps it was a web designer who loves making reading web pages as difficult as possible by camouflaging text as much as they can get away with against a #ffffff background ;) )
- rocqua 8y agoDownvotes make text grayer, perhaps it was a communal attempt at humor?
- scarygliders 8y agoThat hadn't entered my head as a possibility - since I'm feeling mean, have an upvote to ensure your excellent comment stays black :)
- anonytrary 8y agoHigh contrast mode is nice for people with eyesight problems, yet it strains people with normal eyesight. More contrast leads to less cognitive ease for the average user.
