The stable Ramsey's theorem for pairs has been the subject of numerous
investigations in mathematical logic. We introduce a weaker form of it by
restricting from the class of all stable colorings to subclasses of it that are
nonnull in a certain effective measure-theoretic sense. We show that the sets
that can compute infinite homogeneous sets for nonnull many computable stable
colorings and the sets that can compute infinite homogeneous sets for all
computable stable colorings agree below $\emptyset'$ but not in general. We also
answer the analogs of two well-known questions about the stable Ramsey's theorem
by showing that our weaker principle does not imply COH or WKL0 in
the context of reverse mathematics.
