  • I’ll be honest here, I really couldn’t care less what you say anymore, you thought you could correct someone online and feel superior, it didn’t pan out, and when you realised you’d misinterpreted everything from the start, you doubled down for the sake of pride.

    It’s cute, I feel for you, but the link you provided was totally irrelevant to the point being made, and you’re now starting to look like a bit of a fool.

    No-one cares.

    No-one is going to read this far into our argument.

    You can feel like your setting the record straight on a public forum if you want, but you were wrong from the start and literally no-one cares. No-one.

    This is purely about your own ego and the need for you to be right.

    It’s OK, I’ll admit defeat, you’re right. You were right the whole time, I didn’t even know the point I was making, but you did. Now run along.


  • I’m not gonna waste any more of my time arguing with someone that is straight-up dishonest.

    I’ve tried to meet you in the middle when I said you had misinterpreted me but I could’ve been clearer, I’ve also brought the conversation to an end multiple times, but you keep telling me I’m wrong, despite the fact that YOU misinterpreted me from the start.

    You’re absolutely full of shit, acting like you won’t waste anymore of your time. You’re determined that there’s no possible way you could be wrong, and you can’t drop it, or you would’ve stopped when I stopped any of those previous times.

    You should maybe speak to someone about your need to be right over people, because it seems clear you have something going on there that needs addressing.


  • Yeeeah, I’ll be honest, I’ve lost interest in this conversation a long time ago, you’re adamant that you’re right, even to the point of telling me what I meant when you misinterpreted it.

    So yep fine, you must be right, I must be wrong.

    Have a fantastic day in full knowledge that I completely, wholeheartedly agree with everything that you’ve said, and take back everything that I’ve said.

    Gray on white, regardless of shade, is infinitely better than black on white. Atan said so.


  • Yep, that’s right, you drew false conclusions from the start, in that I was referring to the same shade of gray as in the study; which, incidentally, was far more focused on light background & dark text vs dark background & light text, than it was black text vs gray text, so it wasn’t even really relevant to begin with.

    Glad we finally agree!

    I don’t disagree about the overuse of light grey/white, but it’s really irrelevant to what I said.

    My entire point from the very start, the point that you’re replying to, was about the differences in shades of gray, be that from calibration or design choice lol.

    If a screen is so badly calibrated that dark grey is coming out substantially lighter then it’s probably going to doing something similar to black.

    From my experience of using screens like this for years, no, it doesn’t. Black is black. Gray varies by screen, and more importantly, by web dev.

    No developer ponders what shade of black to use, it’s 000000. Gray… Not quite as clear cut.


  • Nothing anecdotal about that, but sure. And my entire point from the start was that black causes less strain than light gray.

    At the end of the day, you have your opinions, I have mine, and I’m sure you’re right that dark gray is better than black for eye strain, but in the real world it doesn’t work like that due to the reasons I laid out above; monitor calibrations and web devs who just throw whatever shade of gray they want on to it.


  • You don’t always have control of calibration settings when you’re on someone else’s monitor, but at lest black always looks black and is still readable without selecting text to change it.

    Also, as I said, not everyone uses the same shade of gray when building a web page/style/theme. In fact, far from it. Black however, is always black, one shade, 000000.

    The problem with that is that not all displays show the same colours and contrasts, so what looks like one shade on monitor A can look totally different on monitor B. Combine that with the massive number of sites that just have any old gray, as opposed to a specifically recognised dark gray, and you frequently end up with text appearing is light or mid gray.

    When this happens, (which you notice a lot on certain monitors) the eye strain is faaaaar worse than a nice thin black text. I find myself pressing CTRL-A at times to highlight everything on the page for a little more contrast, because the standard text is so unreadable.
