I might not be fatal with black-on-white or white-on-black, but grayscale is pretty much still horrible with colored text and background.
- rhdunn 5y agoWhich is why the greyscale should be done with an alpha channel, so it correctly blends with the background, and supports coloured text.
- steerablesafe 5y agoThat would be fine, if alpha blending was handled gamma-correctly in most software, but it isn't. Things go worse with alpha and subpixel-AA, that is just cursed.
