There are so many variables in this one that any answer will be wrong under some conditions. Off the top of my head: display technology; ambient lighting; the users sensitivity to colors and display frequency; the dominant *foreground* color. If you're really worried about eyestrain, use big fonts. Set the colors to things that contrast without clashing. Black on white works really well in many situtations - if the display technology can deliver a clean enough white for your eyes. Personally, I like the barest hint of blue in the white, but that's just me. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
