I did think it was quite high contrast, apart from the subheading the
dojo toolkit is meant to be accessible and I made sure I allow the user
to change the text size (well I broke the subheading a bit, but the rest
works fine).
I will change the colour of the subheading and move it up a bit so that
there is room when the font size is bigger.
The text looks black to me and I have just been through the stylesheet
and I can't see any reason why it should be anything lighter than black.
The background to the site is a very pale texture, but for the
dispositions I made sure the big blocks of text were on a pure white
background. What else can I do to make this more accessible? Does anyone
else see the text as gray on white?
