> Back in grad studies, we used to make slide-show projections using yellow text against deep cyan (blue) backgrounds. We found this to be the easiest combination on the eyes in a poorly lit room. I occasionally let the blue background shade gradually into a deep mauve, for variety. I'm wondering if these would still be fashionable colour combinations used in students' slide-show presentations, these days.

Does anyone else remember the Amstrad CPC range? Their default colours were yellow text on a deep blue background, and it was very easy on the eyes. And the traditional hacker in a darkened room had a blue glow on their face, so blue must be good for something.
