Hello, Isabelle, I assume you are talking about grey text in white background. I personally never appreciate grey text, making me wonder who designed the site. If it is hard to read the text for someone with 20/20 eyesight, like yourself, can you imagine what it is like for those who have lower vision or color blind to read? In my opinion, there is no one single web site that exists only for those who designed the site, unless it is created only for personal pleasure. In other words, no web sites should be created from the designers perspectives only. If you wish people to visit the site you designed and make good use of it, you want to make sure that the visitors are happy. But if you dare to ask your visitors to squint their eyes to read grey text, it will be thoughtful to provide alternative options with better readability. Also, I'm afraid "upscale home designer sites" are not necessarily always the best sites you can learn from.
