This website is a throwback to a design choice that (thankfully) has mostly died off - choosing a mid-grey for your text, making it much more effort to read.
I used to have Stylebot pinned to my extensions to fix it, but haven't had to do it in ages. Designers - please don't do this.
(I think it comes from people designing on much higher contrast Apple monitors and not testing on anything else)
- ale42 3y agoIndeed it looks like all the text is grayed out... like "I'm waiting for you to click that damn accept-cookie button before actually showing the page".
- yreg 3y agoIronically, your own (downvoted) comment on this site is even more difficult to read. But you are right, the Tuta article has a contrast ratio of 4.35:1, which doesn't pass even the lower WCAG level (AA = 4.5:1). Accessibility is important. We are all going to depend on it if we live long enough.
