Hello:
This is kind of off-topic here but I don't know where to ask it to get an answer. More and more web sites have a design with gray/light-gray text on light background. One example is this site:https://www.siteground.com/support but there are plenty of similar ones. This design puts a lot of (unnecessary) stress on the eye. Is this design type simply the result of stupidity, or is there valid rationale supporting it?
As with so many things there are "fashions" and "fashionable trends" in web styling.
Essentially you are asking if a fashion makes sense or is stupid.
Thanks for your input. What I am interested in is if this is only fashion or there is something else beyond fashion. For example if there are studies that showed not having too much contrast is better for the eye, or on certain devices it can be read better, anything. Like Daniel wrote his eyes are not stressed by the gray text on white background.
If you want to term fashion aesthetics then yes there are many studies. it not just the colour scheme that hurts the eyes, its the font, layout, styling and more.
