Question

what's with the grey font color?

hi

can someone help me understand what is with the 'grey font color' being used all over the place on iOS & macOS?

I have written to apple feedback several times about it, but I just can't understand this. That color makes the font so faint it is very hard to read normally and then one has to 'brighten' the screen at each such occasion. Why can't Apple get rid of this grey color? the other text is in more brighter (?) color, but then that grey comes in which is very difficult to see unless you again go back and increase the screen brightness either on iOS or macOS

this is notifications slider from macOS

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2016), macOS High Sierra (10.13.4), Time Capsule 1 TB (1st Generation)

This is a user to user technical support forum, so we would have no way to answer your questions. You can send feedback to Apple here: Apple - Feedback. They don't respond to feedback, but they do read it.

Since this is a user to user support forum, we have certain Terms of Use that we are required to abide by. One of those terms is that we do not speculate on why Apple makes the decisions they do. We don't work for Apple, and we have no special insight into Apple's plans or reasoning.

So, sorry, this is just not the right place to get that information.

Have you tried going to Settings or preferences, General

then Assesibility? My phone went gray & almost white letters & very hard to read. I changed settings in colors which is under Accessibility. I hope it helps. There are so many hidden settings you have to search for.

If it’s MacOS, I’m sure you’ve played around with the “Display Serting”.

I did state in my OP that I have written to feedback several times. What I'm trying to understand if any one has any background info about this?
