Interesting you should mention that. I was recently working with a dev team
on a UI, and I told them their dark gray text and tabs were muddy and
indistinguishable from the black background. Nobody knew what I was talking
about and they all thought I was colorblind or crazy.

It turns out that everybody except me was using fancy-schmancy LCD monitors
that showed a bright, light gray where I saw a dark charcoal gray, on my
(quite respectable) Trinitron tube. Now the UI developer has plugged in a
tube monitor to check the colors.
