I think the HTML article section is the place users will have a look
first, and that was outdated anyway.  So now it mentions shr, and
there's a footnote that points to a new Gnus FAQ entry 4.16:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Question 4.16
.............

How can I ensure more contrast when viewing HTML mail?

Answer
......

Gnus’ built-in simple HTML renderer (you use it if the value of
‘mm-text-html-renderer’ is ‘shr’) uses the colors which are declared in
the HTML mail.  However, it adjusts them in order to prevent situations
like dark gray text on black background.  In case the results still have
a too low contrast for you, increase the values of the variables
‘shr-color-visible-distance-min’ and ‘shr-color-visible-luminance-min’.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But yes, I think the two variables should be documented in eww.texi,
too.  I've just done that.

Ok, that's now also in place (Gnus -> EWW).
