Just tried a pure black background for a client dashboard and the text looked like it was floating

I swapped the near-black gray for #000000 on a financial app last Tuesday, and the high-contrast white labels created a harsh vibration that hurt readability. Has anyone found a good middle-ground dark gray that avoids this issue?

Try #121212, it worked for my charts.

Actually pure black can work if you adjust the text weight. That vibration happens because the white is too bright, not the black. Try a softer off-white like #F5F5F5 on the true black background first.
