Could it be because it is accounting for people who are colorblind?

I'm colour blind, and red on white is totally fine for me as long as the red is dark enough. Actually, any colour on white is OK if it's dark enough.

Thank you for that. Could you confirm whether "pure red on white" is okay for you, or whether it's too light?

i.e. #ff0000 on #ffffff

Just checked and I'd prefer it just a touch darker (#dd0000), but as long as the font weight isn't too light, I think it's OK.

There are different forms of colour blindness - I have the red-green type (though can't correctly identify many colours), but I don't think it should make any difference for this.
