The text I quoted said _consider_. Not _do not use black_. The author 
considered it and decided to use both black and dark gray text (see the text in 
the margin and the footer?).

@flyx, and this page from practicaltypography uses black on white :)

@flyx The page you referenced uses full black text on full white background.

So, what is so wrong with black, again ?

Another opinion on text color from 
[here](http://forum.nim-lang.org///practicaltypography.com/color.html):

> But con­sider mak­ing body text on screen dark gray rather than black.

I would also prefer text color to be a bit darker. But black is overkill.
