I would not characterize the [dead] comments (which are #ddd) as "a typical comment". They're designed to be hard to read. If I turn off showdead (which I believe is an opt-in setting), it looks like the lightest comments are #9c9c9c, which is a 2.5 ratio (and of course are also comments which are intended to be less prominent).
