Comment (by audrasjb):

 > Even the white background alone, whatever the text color is, is harmful
 for the eye It causes eye strain for many users and it's not recommended.

 That's my whole point: not recommended by who? I'm not aware of any study
 against full-white. The one I know only point out super strong contrasts
 like #000 on #fff, and never #fff alone.

 Don't worry, we'll probably end up reverting this change… but
 At least I would like to make sure we do with a good, rational reasoning.
 And not just ''individual'' perception. If it is industry standard then
 I'm 100% for reverting this myself. But in fact I never find any industry
 standard about this in a 20 yo career, so that's why I'm still arguing
 about this rationale today instead of just reverting that change :)
