Ditto.
I use R:225 G:219 B:192 which might be a little too far off-white for your taste.
It's quite surprising how much that colour varies on different monitors.

It is a little dark for my taste, yes!
The first thing I have to do when I get a new monitor or printer is start playing with the colour temperature until I have the same colours on both - takes the best part of a day sometimes...

My optometrist recommends black text over a light yellow background, such as 255/255/192. He claims that scientifically if offers the greatest contrast and is easiest on the eyes.

I tried that, or pretty close to it, when I first started but I still had problems. Over the years I've fiddled with it till I ended up where I am now about 18-24 months ago.
This works for me but in general your optometrist's advice is excellent.

I'm working with a sort of tan background... MUCH easier to read than black-on-white, but not jarring like a white-on-black setup:

White background with dark text is always a Relaxed vision.
According to human eye vision theory,
"Color vision is the capacity of an organism or machine to distinguish objects based on the wavelengths (or frequencies) of the light they reflect, emit, or transmit."
Human eye is very sensitive to Red, Green, Blue color so these color should be used as text not as background.
Take an example of codeProject, same thing concept applies here.
Happy Vision.
Rating always..... WELCOME

I agree; white background with dark text is easiest on the eyes for long coding stretches, and I definitely prefer that combination over others.

Real men type white on white! Writing memo's by hand also takes less time that way.
It's an OO world.

Do you mean that you like a greyed text, as is a title of your post?

I'm an old timer, from back when editors were yellow on black, and it has stuck with me.
My friends and colleagues complain about this, at which I say it gives a sense of depth to what you do and not some abstract piece of whiteboard drawing!
Maybe you are too old when you remember green CRT displays!

You young folk!
I remember when Moses used to come round and have us remove the bugs on his tablets...
We used to tell him not to play in the bushes so he wouldn't get any, but he wouldn't listen, so we had to part ways...
Now those were real tablets!
