Grey text in white text box. Front page article comments, dark theme

[dragontology]

I'm just wondering, and trying to reign in the snark, but who thought light grey text in a white text box would be a great idea?

 

This is how front page article comments look to me. I use the dark theme. Chrome 47.0.2526.80 64-bit, Windows 10.  http://i.imgur.com/77sk9Rv.png

 

White or off-white on dark grey would be so much better, easier on the eyes.

 

Also, enter produces a line break in the forums, and in most text input fields, but in the front-page articles, it produces a new paragraph. Kind of annoying when you're used to two Enter strokes to make a new paragraph and you do that and get four line breaks. WordPress's post editor/maker is the only other text input field I use that does the same thing. Not as big a deal but I thought I'd throw it out there.
