Hey, want to share your opinion on webpage color schemes? The subject came up
when Lawgiver sent along a link about Computer
Eyestrain, which specifically mentions white text on black as a culprit. I responded
with my theory, which is that the white on black text rule was created for paper
printouts, and that I believe the opposite seems true of monitors, which, to my
understanding, create colors additively by combining colors of light, as opposed
to paper printouts, which absorb light to create reflected colors through a
subtractive method. I'm not sure if that's the reason I find white on black more
appealing, but I do know that when faced with a large group of black text on a
white page, I highlight it to reverse the colors. Anyway, I thought this was an
interesting question to ask in case there were more facts or theories to cover
this. Of course, along the way I'm fully prepared to be corrected in detail for
all the faulty pseudo-science I spewed above, following the theme of the
follow-up below.
After I commented on Saving Private Ryan yesterday, Kestral made an informative messageboard post offering an education on the subject. The post basically explains that any absence of Brits or Canadians among the invaders that the Pvt. Ryan search party encountered is actually historical accuracy, rather than a re-write of history. Go figure! Thanks Kestral. Link of the Day: Jugglemaster Java Simulator. Thanks Christopher Pereda.
