Contrast is good. I've never experienced too much
contrast, but I tweak my colors. I set them up
logically with the RGB model to create maximum
uniqueness, but then I use it and think, this is too
dark, this is too bright, etc. At the moment, the
colors I use are now:

   normal                         bright
   bk  r   g   y  bl   m   c   w  bk    r   g   y  bl   m   c   w
r  0 255   0 190 110 235   0 150  120 255   0 255 130 175 200 210
g  0  20 150 190 110  85 180 150  120  85 175 127 130 100 162 180
b  0  20   0   0 225 235 180 150  120  85   0   0 255   0 200 140

As you see there is clear pattern but they are the
result of the scientific approach first, setting them
up to be as distinct as possible, then the engineering
approach of tweaking +5 here, -10 there, every day.
Today, some of the colors are not as they once were,
at all.

I can't stand looking at white, but yes, this
makes sense.
