Dark/charcoal grey is better than pure black for text. But it's still dark enough that most people would call it black.

- carlosjobim 8mo agoIt's not, that's a myth. The blackest black your monitor is capable of is best for text.
- ChrisMarshallNY 8mo agoThe problem is contrast, really. Some color combos are terrible, and you also have issues with color-blindness (which is why gray is used a lot). Gray text, against a gray background, can suck. I’m getting on in years, and low-contrast text affects me a lot more, these days, than it used to.

- hulitu 8mo ago> ZX Spectrum had some excellent color combinations Yes, compared with the abominations that are Windows 10, 11 and Android, ZX Spectrum was luxury.
