Exactly that's why there is one single wide spread place where black is the default, one place where companies probably could have saved money by using gray but didn't.
And that's text.
Not titles, not headlines or other similar text based constructs but boring continuous text.
Another thing well known to be important about text is readability.
But one companies designer had a wonderful idea to use gray text on gray background and do so at a place which works as a model for other.
And now it's everywhere.
It's annoying, it's exhausting and it's drives me mad.
Luckily the designer of this page knew what he did.
He used dark blue, which has a strong contrast and can be mistaken with black when sleepy.
But you who made low contrast gray on gray a thing, know that I don't like you as you have cause me many troubles ;=)
