[arch-general] [OT] sight-saver colours
Hi, in your opinion, what is the best combination of text and background colour so as not to tire our eyes? I think we spend many hours in front of a monitor. I've been using the following one: text -> #000000 background -> #F6F6FF (in the past also #F8F4FF, #EDE9E3, and others)

Always depends on the monitor. You could reduce the backlight brightness instead of making the background gray.

Precisely. I prefer to adjust the monitor. Assuming of course the monitor have good brightness adjustment controls. If I find they tend to blur more then they reduce brightness, then there's indeed no other option than set the term foreground color.
Hi, I use light gray (rgb:be/be/be) on dark gray (rgb:1c/1c/1c). See also my .Xcolors (is sourced in .Xdefaults) http://github.com/lukasg/dotfiles/blob/master/xorg/Xcolors)) On Fri, Aug 06, 2010 at 01:10:14PM +0200, F. Gr. wrote:

I find that lighter-colored (but not blindingly bright) text on a very dark background is easiest on the eyes. e.g. text: #C3C3C3 (light gray) background: #000000 (black) or #00001b (midnight blue) http://www.darose.net/DaroseDesktop2009-11.png HTH, DR
