It's getting hard to read things on the web

I don't know when everyone decided light gray text on white backgrounds was the standard uniform of the web, but I'd much rather have garish colors if it means the text is at least legible

@Qwxlea Oh yes, I forgot about this article. It's really annoying and I'm a little disappointed things haven't improved much since this was published
