A lot of this site sets a light grey background, but fails to set a text color. When the text color is left undefined, it could turn out to be anything, including white. The browser will draw text in whatever color the operating system is using for text.

So a lot of the dev-archive pages wind up being essentially illegible for some users. If you want to see the problem, go into the Windows Control Panel and set your color scheme to display white text on a dark blue background. Then take a look at the site. The site will override your dark background, but won't do anything about your text.

The HTML must always set both the background and foreground color to prevent this problem. Or, better yet, don't set either color. Let the user's color choices prevail; that's the whole point of having them in the first place.

Thanks.
