Of course the reader should not have to correct defects in the page
design but it is not unreasonable for him to have to correct for
defects in his eyesight or monitor settings.  I worked in the
television industry for many years and my page background is of an
amplitude that should not cause problems.  Certainly in 8 years and
87000 visitors to the site I have only ever had two comments of that
sort, and on the contrary I have had very many complimentary remarks
about my site's design.  Incidentally the background is not intended
to make the pages 'pretty' but to act as a watermark.

Some LCD monitors have characteristics which are a poor match to those
of a CRT (in respect of gamma etc.) so it's possible that the
background is being displayed at a higher contrast than intended.  Are
you viewing on an LCD or CRT?  I'm pleased to say I'm still using a
CRT display on my PC!
