The colored sheets are available from Irlen Institute and they are used to correct visual difficulties called scotopic sensitivity. This hasn't (I believe) been proven to correct the "letters moving" on the page. The most common colored overlay is blue, but they also come in various other shades, like yellows, roses, greens, etc. You could probably find report covers that would work as well and be much cheaper. It's basically a trial-and-error method to determine the correct color.
