Comment on Ask HN: Why did you decide to make the background a bright white color?

Are you also going to insist that The New York Times have the print equivalent of #AAAAAA?

It could get a lot worse in the HDR age where the screen has an ability, limited in time and space, to get super bright and you might have to play a video (not an image or web page glyph) to get at the ability.

The printed version has its own CSS styles.

I bought a big 43" TV a year ago to play GTA 3 and watch tutorials so I could see the text from afar. By default, the settings had dynamic brightness increase on white backgrounds, and I had to work hard to turn off dynamic brightness increase.
