light grey? If 808080 is neutral mid grey, how can 4A525A (32% lightness) be anything but a dark grey? The contrast seems quite readable to me, and seems to pass guidelines: https://coolors.co/contrast-checker/ffffff-4a525a

Try the actual text color instead of fff (also in quotes, which take up most of the space)

The actual text color is either #fff or #ddd depending on if you’re talking about a blockquote. #fff gets full marks; #ddd gets a “good” rating.

no, it's #eee for the main text and #ddd for the quotes

And both are slightly above "minimum contrast", nothing good about it despite what the checker sites says

> it’s #eee

I’m going by reading the CSS.

> both are slightly above "minimum contrast"

That’s simply not true.

Try going by reading the actual page instead, or a web inspector can read CSS rules better than you, linkedlist overrides fff
