The OP of the thread you are replying to is #828282 on top of #f6f6ef. That is lower contrast than black on white.
- JoshTriplett 6y agoI was responding to the comment I directly replied to, not commenting on the specific color scheme of the style.
- albedoa 6y agoYou said: "Let's not make HN one of those sites." Either it is already one of those sites or there is room between the most extreme contrasts. Pick one.
- JoshTriplett 6y agoHN is currently "black on very light background". The equivalent dark mode would be "white on very dark background". I hope we end up with either that, or even better, white on a black background (because that would be great for devices with OLED screens, including many phones).
- albedoa 6y agoThe top post is #828282 on top of #f6f6ef, a pretty low contrast of 3.541 compared to 21.000 for black on white.
