Please don't force low contrast ratios on users. Not everyone is calibrated to >100 nits and viewing your content in a bright but sensible ambient environment

The recommended grey-on-grey may be unreadably low in contrast when viewed on, for example, 0 brightness in a pitch black room, or in direct sunlight

The full SDR colour range is there to be used, this isn't HDR where you need to limit things to not blind your users



+1, grey-on-grey can be hard for older folks too
