When I worked at Tektronix in the '80s, their display folks found a blue backgound with yellow letters provided good contrast with the least eyestrain. I've used that combination ever since. YMMV with newer monitors and drivers.

Then I found that I could adjust the colors and found that a grey (or is it gray) background worked better for my viewing experience and I adjusted the other colors accordingly and made them more muted where possible. Now I'm using Reflections and am using the Ice theme with some slight modifications and it works great. When I'm using Vista TN3270 I have adjusted all the colors for a grey background as well. With Reflections there are many other color themes and I'm sure other TN3270 products also support them in varying ways of completeness. Has anyone does any human factor studies on optimizing screen colors? Thoughts/comments for a Friday -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lionel B.
