Ugh, tell me about it. Honestly, I just use #111111 for almost everything now. It's dark enough but way easier on the eyes. I had to redo a whole dashboard because the pure black made the blue buttons look super harsh and weird. That slight gray tone just lets everything sit together better.

My buddy's app got roasted for that, he switched to a dark gray like #121212.

30 feet off? That's not even close...

It's like what @danieljenkins said, these contrast issues are everywhere once you start looking.

Reminds me of my buddy who signed up for a fancy meal kit, got one box, and hated the recipes. He spent like eighty bucks on stuff he ended up tossing. He saw a post like yours from @adams82, canceled right away, and used the time he saved to finally fix his bike.
