Stop Using #GreyText

Dear web #designers :

Please, for the love of Glob, stop using grey text. And especially do not use grey text on an off-white background. It doesn’t make you look more “design-ey”, it makes you look inept.

Why‽ Why use grey text on a grey background? This requires you to specifically overwrite the default text color - you literally have to ship code (in the form of #CSS ) to construct this monstrosity.
