One of my pet hates on the web is grey on white fonts. They really annoy me, perhaps my eyesight isn't that good. For 600 years since Gutenberg mankind has been fed a healthy diet of black fonts on a white background, and all of a sudden the last twenty years has seen web page designers using grey and other pastel colours on a white background.

Now a question to all those theme designers - how many of the books you studiedat college used grey fonts on white backgrounds - Answer is: evidently none. Yet you insist on inflicting grey on white text on poor unsuspecting folks like ourselves. Please spare us.

I don't want to put down web designers but if there is something about grey fonts on a white background that we don't know about they should kindly tell us.

Yours sincerely,

A bloke with not so good eyes

PS. there are lots worse than me.
