Can we have some evidence for this please? Cites? The Anome


At various times I have heard "black on white", "white on black", "dark blue on light blue", "orange on black" and "pale yellow on dark blue" all advocated by some study or another to be the "best" colour scheme. I take all this with a pinch of salt -- Chris Q 11:38 Mar 5, 2003 (UTC)


I don't think anyone seriously would advocate text on a light background being best, except for WYSIWYG applications. Kim Bruning 20:59, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
