>What more do you want?
100% contrast. People went to great effort to achieve the highest possible contrast in print, e.g. with barium sulfate coated paper, optical brighteners in paper, single-use carbon film typewriter ribbons, oil based inks so pigments could be used instead of dyes, etc. Contrast is good. The only good reason I can think of to use less than 100% is for syntax highlighting.
- chrisseaton 7y agoPeople don't want contrast that is too high or too low. http://reports-archive.adm.cs.cmu.edu/anon/itc/CMU-ITC-089.pdf http://reports-archive.adm.cs.cmu.edu/anon/itc/CMU-ITC-089.p... The accessibility guidelines account for this.

- chrisseaton 7y agoWell we could also say that if the contrast on this website is too low then your monitor is not set bright enough. Ultimately it's a matter of taste isn't it?
