Feeling a bit confrontational today are we? Call it what you will, but this is "generally accepted" which means exactly what it says. You seem to have confused "this user's opinion" with "what the textbooks say". Still, I'm open to hear about all the UX books you have read.

You don't need to read a textbook to see users complain about it, or to know that I go out of my way to fix low-contrast webpages to make them easier to read. Poke around elsewhere in this thread. Check out <http://contrastrebellion.com/ >.

That's the same link I debunked earlier in this thread. Just because someone made a website about something does not make it a real thing. I know there are a lot of sites that do text wrongly, not just colour, but size and font too, but they don't all need a movement.
