Question

Light Web Page (Body) Text Color

by caxtin1 Jul 22, 2015 2:45PM PDT

I sure would like to know what's up with a handful of the web pages I visit.

Would this be the setting on my computer that many sites I visit, in the body of the page, the texts shows as either dark gray or lighter blue. Would this be by default (how the website was created) or by choice (how my computer color is set)?

Some sites are:
http://www.autodesk.com/
http://www.filehippo.com/

I am in the process of starting to learn to create web pages. Were these pages ok until they are posted on the server for the web? Some sites, I would have to squint my eyes to really read it or many times, after staying on long enough, my eyes start getting tired. I have noticed that sites with darker color letters seem to be more comfortable to read through.

Yes, I know web pages are designed by choice to the creator's choice of text color and style, but many seem to be the same. Hope am explaining myself good enough.

Thanks.
