Hi,

If the site uses white text on dark background in content area and
it meets the color contrast requirement. Are there any accessibility
standards for this scenario?

I have some eye issues in that I where prisms, my eyes don't work
together, astigmatism presmeopia, etc and find this scenario very
painful to read to the point I will gravitate away from the site or
complain to the webmaster.

I think we are about to get this scenario in a site we are about to
develop. The design has already been approved by the customer.
