people use various settings of brightness/contrast and sometimes a
designer can have a bright high contrast setup on his machine and create
something that seems to work pretty well until it meets up with a
display that isn't as bright. Many of the early web designs that I did
looked great on my Macintosh and when I finally saw them in Windows, I
was aghast at how dark everything was. Your statement presupposes that
the designer knew how the world would see his web designs.
