While grey on white may look better, actually reading text is easier as black on white.
Isn't that guy sorta missing the point of the first website?
> A little less contrast
> Size Matters
Strong disagree on both of these points. I view most webpages (including that one) at around 66% zoom these days, because the text is so goddamn big. And anyone advocating for less contrast needs a shovel to the head.

Or they have the thing where high contrast makes the letters jiggle and therefore difficult to read. I get that when tired.
Maximum contrast does not make for good general usability, even if you happen to like it.
This is also my experience. As long as the contrast is within the acceptable WCAG ratios for accessibility, I don't really see any problem.
