There is no design trend more inimical to the function of the web than gray on white text. If only it stopped at gray values of #444444, which is bad enough on old displays or in bright ambient light. The text on this site is #7f8d8c — more white than black — and the strokes on the letters in the equations are quite fine. Yes, it looks nice and clean to have so little black on the page, but the tradeoff is that I have to squint to read it.

I can't help but to point out the irony of a post complaining about grey text, being... in grey text (referring to the downvotes)
