So, if I am correct, this is possible. Hard, but possible. That was more a small Javascript project, and I didn't get good results.

I tried to automatically adjust the text colour of each post to the complementary colour of the background, to get a higher contrast. But it's not clearly defined what the complementary colour is and I tried different ways to calculate it. They all worked well for some colours but bad for others. And it's generally even more confusing to see not just the backgrounds but also the text in rainbow colours.

Another time I started an initiative to add transparency to all background colours to make them less bright, but that was not well received. A transparent red becomes pink and a transparent black becomes grey. The colours simply don't stay the same, so it didn't take long until most colours were changed back, overthrowing my movement.

I believe it's possible to disable the background colours in personal CSS. I will investigate on this option and give you instructions how to disable it when I found a solution.
