Don&#x27;t want to nit-pick but,<p>&gt;gray text on web pages (even despite it violates W3C accessibility recommendations),<p>the W3C don&#x27;t recommend against grey text at all, they recommend that designers consider the <i>contrast</i> of text colour versus background colour, and to not use <i>light</i> grey on white. It&#x27;s a matter of contrast and not a blanket rule.<p>I do think it is important that we don&#x27;t start making new silly rules about dos and don&#x27;ts in web-design.
