Subtle changes, bugs and feedback

The context is not a white page background, the context is a list of items, some of which have grey backgrounds and some of which have white backgrounds. The grey is visually 'knocked back'. It's not a question of logically what constitutes a highlight, it's the perceived visual effect of a brighter, higher contrast area vs a dimmer, lower contrast area.

I can understand that, but when you take the grey in the context of the whole page, it highlights that area that's grey, IMO.

Losing battle. Don't want to argue about it.
