If you just want a word to stick-out in a paragraph on a white background; set the paragraph in a dark-gray, like #505050 400wt. Use a 600 to 800wt font colored with #000 to give it emphasis.
Visual contrast. Page hierarchy. Or, hell, blink-tag if pizazz might be in order.
Alors les designers, on a peur de mettre du blanc #FFF sur du noir #000 ? Pourquoi est-ce qu’il faut toujours un blanc juste un tout petit peu gris, et un noir juste un tout petit peu gris ? À part le fait que ça a été déclaré une “bonne pratique” à l’époque des écrans CRT, jamais un argument n’est donné. « Ça réduit le contraste » de façon absolument négligeable.
Mettez du --grey-000 ou du --grey-999 dans vos compos, assumez-vous, vivez un peu !
@Moon If you're interested in a technically better solution, "border-image" is the perfect solution for this. I made a quick demo SVG file that works with these rules:
div {
border: 15px solid #000;
border-image: url('./border.svg') 15;
}
Reminder: pure #FFF white on #000 black for your blog's dark mode might not be the best idea. There is such thing as "too much contrast" and, it might be as damaging for some users as not enough contrast. Be careful and offer options to switch to non-dark mode if needed.
There's an article there, I won't link as I don't want to boost engagement but "Why You Should Never Use Pure Black for Text or Backgrounds" is approximately the largest rubbish pile in the history of internet dumpster fires.
Attached is my latest reply:
To summarize, the actual science says: 1) For a light background, full back text is IDEAL. But it is useful to note that in most cases, #222 is functionally the same as #000. However, and expecially for body text, #000 is the goal, and there is no reason not to use full black test with light BGs, except for links or certain differentiation, but most especially for small body text, USE BLACK #000 BLACK 2) Use fullly black text. For questions on this concept, please see #1, above. 3) The cause of EYE STRAIN is NOT black text, it is a bright white background that is too bright for the eye’s adaptation state. And using grey text here MAKES FATIGUE WORSE. 4) I realize that posting articles with misinformation is the way to boost engagement, but dammit Anthony, don’t post harmful junk! If you want to do the dark engagement tactic, pick things that are innocuous and non-harmful to actual human beings. 5) When you see a site with unreadable gray text, please write them and complain. IT’s time to put a stop to this nonsense. Thank you for reading and have one of those “nice days” you’ve heard so much about.

Ha. I don't know what to do with this.
I made a video, but the cheap capture card did horrible things to sound and it could be a while until I can fix that.
So:
I present "Peak Ambition", a first demo for #Picovision in #MicroPython for #Pimoroni Party #000, with the caveat that you shouldn't judge the hardware on the quality of this recording.
Also, extend that pass to me for all the snags I'd be fixing if there was more time 😄
But I'm still proud of it!
People who use “dark mode” colour schemes on the web; is it preferable to choose it yourself via a setting specifically for the site, or have the site automatically switch based on your system preferences? Is there best practice here? #a11y
I wish I knew. There are CSS queries for monochrome displays, but it seems mine reports to the OS as full color so you can’t really work with the device specifically (screenshots come back in color too). This blows because there are obvious scenarios I would remove a light gray background behind say code because it just looks awful. Just as much, you basically only want to be using #fff & #000 unless you have a good reason.
We've made some design changes to make DMs a bit more obvious on the web interface.
Now they'll stand out from regular replies in your notifications, and look even more queer!

You ever "know" something, but then later on grok some dead simple aspect of it and your mind it blown with a whole different appreciation of it? Today this hit me when it was pointed out that #FFFFFF or 'white' is not necessarily the most intense white. Like, I guess I knew this, at one time there was a lot of focus on our ability to make blacker blacks, now when I think about improvements I think about more saturated colors.. but.. yeah.
