Generally speaking, we use a red font. For this particular set of pages, yellow
stands out best. The ink is so faint that it is most easily readable when the
image is changed from its natural colour to a grey scale and with the contrast
and gamma variables adjusted for the best result. When we do that, the red font
does not stand out as well as the yellow. 

We have been using LibreCalc for this project for about seven years. We have
tried different themes, and different font colours, none of which work very
well for every log page. The scanned log pages vary in colour from white to a
yellowish colour. Generally they were filled in with black ink, but sometimes
with blue ink or with blue or red pencil. We work with logs generally from the
1860s to 1880s.
