I can read grey on grey just fine, even on my old laptop with its terrible color and worse grey resolution. Moreover, that site isn't grey on grey, it's grey on light cream ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cream_(colour) ).

If you haven't already, go to a doctor and get your eyes checked out. What you're describing is not typical.




I've gotten my eyes checked regularly for 20 years. Nothing medically troubling to report. I'm slightly color blind and wear glasses.

I really want to read the content and the substance - but the modern low contrast design has made it difficult for me.

Some particularly aggressive sites I print out to read on physical paper.

I was able to easily read content for my first 18 or so years on the web until the trend started.
