Tell me more—these colors, #2B2B2B for fg and #F7F3EE for bg pass accessibility checks. See something like coolors [1] or WebAIM [2]

You could run something like https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ but contrast doesn't mean to run with black/white, http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/ is better on the eyes.

If it's bothering the eyes, like many more of other websites would, feel free to pull up your favorite browser's reader mode with your preferences. Cheers!

Raw colors are not the whole story. Font weight matters too. Being just on this side of passing the check is also not great, just better than bad.

Ambient lighting and display quality matter a lot too.

Okay, any specific feedback, then? Not seeing it (shrug)—I like how it feels.

Yes, increase the font weight or contrast. You don't need to go all the way to #000 but a darker shade for body text would improve legibility significantly.

i think the white dots add another factor to my brain i have to decipher. It doesn't make or break the site but its like id rather not have to deal with a pattern and text. Just make the background white.

If you really love it, keep it. I dont know anything. Im just a human
