website design - Grey versus white background for ease of use and readability/legibility


Many websites by default use a white background for maximum contrast (with black text) so I am wondering if there is a case for a very light grey background to be used instead because it comes up as less glaring on the screen plus it also allows the designer to use white as a subtle highlight in specific user interactions.


Are there specific reasons why white is preferred over a very light grey background, and if so are there some strategies that can be used to mitigate some of the known issues for having white background?
