If the shade is really that different, then the problem is a poorly calibrated screen, and black text on white is also going to look “totally different”.
You don’t always have control of calibration settings when you’re on someone else’s monitor, but at lest black always looks black and is still readable without selecting text to change it.
Also, as I said, not everyone uses the same shade of gray when building a web page/style/theme. In fact, far from it. Black however, is always black, one shade, 000000.
