  > Being bothered by high contrast is very exceptional It isn't very exceptional, it is just less common than problems with low contrast (mostly for demographic reasons). It is also the main reason why every display has a Brightness setting and why proper workspace illumination is important for the health of your eyes. I agree that accessability is important, and excessive use of low contrast, thin or small fonts is not acceptable because it affects the higher percentage of people. However: 1. Saying that higher contrast is better objectively for everybody is and not a matter of personal preference is false, because it isn't. Some people prefer their contrast not to be high and these people exist. I worked with them. 2. On the web gladly we can offer multiple versions of a page (and potentially even re-style what we see). Light and dark themes are a good example for this. Instead of deciding on one thing that fits all people maybe we should think more in terms of providing the best thing for multiple needs.
