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.
