This isn't bad. The original 'Mosaic' grey was designed for
better contrast for images, but its not so good for text
contrast. If you find white is too bright - you see that 
little knob on the monitor... ;-)

Color selection does get a bit on the religious wars side
of things. I personally have no problem with pure white but
you need good display equipment or it can wash out the text.
#FFFFF0 is a good compromise and preferal to the grey.
