I've always found the opposite; because headings are typically larger, they benefit from a lighter colour than the body copy.
- etrinh 14y agoI was also confused by this line. Thick blocks of color appear darker than thin blocks, so a heading would need to be slightly lighter in order to appear the same color as the body copy.
