> Use near-black and near-white instead of pure black and white

This is not safe. During the past few years this became a trend, legibility has suffered greatly and eyestrain has increased significantly for me. It gets even worse when combined with `font-weight: 300` - completely unusable.

This is on high quality 4K laptop screen / expensive EIZO FlexScan 32" monitor / Macbook screen - its even worse with other less expensive equipment.

"Near" is also open to interpretation.
