This relates to #10 - but refers to text throughout. In general, it seems that light grey text is used. This should only be done for elements that are really unimportant.

I don't know if this is a screen-thing or an eyes-thing, but it seems that I am really in disagreement with a lot of designers over this, because it seems that light gray text on slightly lighter gray background is really modern right now.
