i hate websites that utilize so light grays... they're pretty much indistinguishable from white on my screen. (the triangles in front of the items on the website he's blogging about)

thankfully, styler extensions exist for both chrome and firefox, with which i can overwrite the color themes. its still annoying though.




This has been common feedback, my monitor must be quite high contrast, I will fix when I get home tonight. Thanks for the feedback!


You may want to calibrate your monitor and be sure you have the correct colour profile.


Yikes yeah several shades of poor contrast greys with a BRIGHT RED background, I wanted to play with this but it's giving me a headache.

The arrows are a contrast ratio of 1.32:1, the row bg color just 1.09:1.


Agreed that the contrast on these is too low, though perhaps "hate" is too strong of a word :)


I laughed out loud at that. I have improved the contrast now so they will have to find something else to hate. Probably kittens.
