Why don't they show some high contrast designs that aren't just black text on a white background?

Some of the low contrast examples they gave were low contrast to draw attention away from them, not just for aesthetics.

This guy is overreacting.

Can you think of any well done websites with high contrast designs that aren't just black text on a white background? I was thinking the same thing but I couldn't think of any good examples off the top of my head--and to me that's a bit of a let down because all this time I've thought the text and style you use on your website can be an identifier of your brand or website. I mean if I could clearly read a site written in dark purple or something, I'd remember that.
