My 2-cents worth...
I prefer darker background colors and, therefore, lighter text
colors. I find that to me far easier on my eyes than white backgrounds.
The original hardware monitors from IBM had a blue that was too dark.
It blended in with the black background so much that I could hardly
see it. So one thing I always do is change the workstation's software
to use a lighter blue.
I find it extremely useful to run multiple TSO sessions
simultaneously, so I routinely run with multiple workstation windows
open. To help keep things straight, I find it useful to define
different color schemes for each workstation window.

For years I was used to the default TN3270 client having a black
background and colors that seemed to glow at times. 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?
