Right, impose your worldview on what's going on rather that
looking at the reallity of the situation. Nice metaphor...
Actually, HTML is designed so that the reader sets the viewing or
listening parameters, WYSIWYC, What You See is What You Choose. This
is totally different than plain text messages, which are supposed to
be seen as the author intended. WTASISYS, What the Author Sent is
What You See. (Obviously, the blind listen, but they are not much
considered.)
Setting Web pages to use specific colors is what you are supposed to
do.
(By the way, the authors' suggested colors for that site,
<http://aistm.org/1indexpage.htm>
are terrible. And it also has a blinking segment. I think whoever
wrote it read the `how to create a really bad site' advice, for
example,
<http://www.catb.org/~esr/html-hell.html>
and decided, as a satire, to create a site that adopts the bad
characteristics. The only way to look at that page is to use
something like GNU Emacs W3M mode or lynx.)
