Awesome link, Pau. +1 for Speaking to designers in their own language. :)
For a few details (and 3 references) about why the design team doesn't use pure-black on pure-white, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Flow/Design_FAQ#Why_is_the_text_grey... (Note that the current Flow prototype still needs some tweaks, before it hits this target)
For useful tools, this http://www.snook.ca/technical/colour_contrast/colour.html is linked from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Accessibility_guide_for_developers
[Somewhat relatedly, I made a list of everything I could find related to color-blindness, at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Accessibility#Colour-blindness_links_and... It needs to be merged into a project page somewhere, eventually.</plug>]
