Why does text add other colors to itself when displayed on a computer? Example image is a screenshot of text set to black on a webpage(media.kbin.social)

I have latest update Windows 11, the latest update Google Chrome, and my PC hardware is:

  • 3070ti GPU
  • Ryzen 7 5800x CPU
  • TUF Gaming x570 motherboard

So not really old hardware. But anti-aliasing sounds like the right answer, and it makes complete sense. Now I’d like to see what a webpage looks like without it!

I believe you can actually see what text looks like without this effect of you turn off ClearType text in windows display settings.
