Blue is the hardest color for the eye to focus on, which is why it almost universally looks blurry when not surrounded by other colors visually-nearby. That's why shooting glasses, driving glasses, etc., are yellow-tinted, to improve contrast (by blocking blue almost 100%). That's also why foglights tend to be tinted yellow (even regular headlights in France, iirr, are mandatorily yellow; someone correct me if that changed) because that improves contrast in fog, etc. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
