== Link: Readable colour text combinations [[Color Test Results http://hubel.sfasu.edu/research/survreslts.html]] is a summary of the results of surveying a bunch of Internet users about what colour text on what background they found the easiest to read. The summary quote: > As you can see, the most readable color combination is black text on > white background; overall, there is a stronger preference for any > combination containing black. Not coincidentally, most of my text is black on white (or black on slightly off-white). I was interested to see that white on black actually rates fairly highly, because for me bright colours on black (like white, [[jwz's green http://jwz.livejournal.com/]], etc) rapidly give me eye-searing, headache inducing afterimages. (The survey is pretty old, but human perception is unlikely to have changed that much in ten years or so.) (From [[Bill de hÓra http://www.dehora.net/journal/2006/05/links_for_20060505.html]].)
