Another gray font on gray background website. I think I'll just give up and order a new monitor. I can't read all these new fancy websites. I get it that developers have usually good monitors, but is it really necessary to use a light gray on a gray background?
Edit: Hold your downvotes, I'm talking about the website. Not the blog! The website does have some hard to read gray-on-gray.
- treerock 13y agoI was curious about this. The grey on white has a ratio[1] of 8.6:1 which should be perfectly fine. The footer, light blue on dark blue, has a ratio of 3.8:1 which fails WCAG. I can read both fairly easily. Contrast ratio maybe not a good measure? [1]: http://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/ http://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/
- susi22 13y agoThanks for the link and research. Some of the text is #acb2b6 which is really difficult for me to read. It's not like this website is particularly bad. I've hold back on commenting before but I guess I just felt like ranting today.
