Larry, thanks for the NASA visual design links. These resources will be
very helpful on a project I'm just getting going with. All the best,
Michael Micheletti

Gavin,
See NASA's "Designing with luminance contrast" at
http://colorusage.arc.nasa.gov/design_lum_0.php and the last few
paragraphs of "Luminance contrast" at
http://colorusage.arc.nasa.gov/luminance_cont.php. The references are at
http://colorusage.arc.nasa.gov/refs_1.php.
The upshot is that a too-bright background can cause problems in a
darkened hospital room or cockpit. In other information display contexts,
black on white is usually best.

Hi,
Black as the background colour for an interface is sometimes used in
mission critical UIs, such as medical monitoring systems and trading
software.
Can people recommend some research on the use of black in this type of
context and also post links if you have them of example interfaces.
Thanks!
Gavin.
