> gray on yellow
But of course, all "black", "white", "gray", "yellow" etc are fuzzy concepts in nature. And in nature, the quality of the medium and of the environment dominate in the visual effect.
On a display, "black" and "white" are abstract - maximum and minimum. They are a shard of the final effect, that passes through other parameters of the medium and of the environment (especially, "how much light here and there and directed where").
Insisting on comparing "colour on display" vs "colour on book" is strongly misleading in this context.
