I'm out of date then, I thought high contrast was desirable. Edit- also I'm not the OP.

  I don't think you're out of date rather the parent is conflating WCAG saying "don't have contrast less than" as if it meant "your contrast should be near".

    No, the question was about what background is "dark enough", i.e. sufficiently dark to provide good contrast with the foreground color.

      Ah, that is definitely true and I agree with your conclusion about it. I think these two replies were specifically in response to the "At 13.5:1, the contrast ratio on your site (#D8DAD7/#0F100F) is a bit much" portion though, it read as if 13.5:1 was too much contrast instead of just more than the minimum. Sorry for misinterpreting that bit!

        Thank you for helping me clarify my point; I definitely could have done better.
