Yeah, what is with the very light grey text on a white background? Might as well make it invisible, at least then it won't hurt anybody's eyes. Edit: okay, it

Edit: okay, it looks like the site looks differently depending on which monitor I have it up on, weird. On one monitor, there is much less contrast which is why I had issues with the grey text.
- brebory 14y agoI'm not defending layervault's overuse of the concept, but one of the (many) ways to achieve typographic hierarchy is to map the contrast of an element to the relative importance of that element. Look at it this way: Without even reading it, you know that the gray text is supplemental or auxiliary information, because it has this visual cue. Of course, sacrificing readability to achieve this definitely isn't the best MO.
