I don't think this is being a problem for our users. Proposing to decline this task. T628 would still remain open to discussion.

I'm not sure who wrote this, but what is meant by everything? Most text in Phabricator looks black (or very dark grey) on a white background to me.
I agree with @Qgil that this task can probably be resolved/declined if there's not additional information provided here. As it is, this ticket seems almost impossible to work on.
Yeah, in general Phabricator just appears like a grey in grey indistinct something. More contrast will be cool.
While I see the point of discussing greys on T628, I don't think Phabricator has any problem with contrast of text everywhere. Descriptions and comments use black fonts on top of white background. Titles use dark grey with bold font. Action logs have the relevant info in bold. All in all I don't see a problem other than taste, which is hard to satisfy for everybody.
I'm going to decline this task. If you find specific problems of contrast, please file new tasks specific to them.
Everything I see on this page presenting contrast issues:
- phabricator-content-source-view ('Via web' etc)
- Timestamps
- Quotes
- timeline-titles (especially when not part of comments)
- board-links (links in the description area)
- Some projects (list in the description)
- phui-timeline-extra (preview label)
- Footer (already filed)
This may not be everywhere, but it's a pretty long list regardless.
While as a general rule content needs to maintain much higher contrast than miscellaneous interface elements due to their length, and indeed that is the case here (aside from quotes), there still should be a baseline of readability that I don't believe has been met with these other items.
