Make light-grey text darker on Mac (white background)

Assuming I understand the question, the first thing I'd do is change your accessibility display settings. More specifically:

  1. Go to Apple > System Preferences
  2. Click on the Accessibility preference pane
  3. Within the left-hand pane click the Display icon (it's usually the 4th one down)
  4. Now to the right you'll see a number of checkboxes and sliders relating to accessibility display settings
  5. Have a play with these to see if they improve the readability of light-grey text
