It wasn't that long ago that having white text on a black background was le dernier cri. (Maybe it still is in some circles; a web page on the preannounced new Mac Pro was done up that way. After five seconds trying to read it on my phone, I gave it up as a lost cause.)
It seems to have been replaced lately by gray--in some cases pretty darned light gray--text on a white background.
Do web designers not care about whether anyone can read the pages they create?
