The solarized theme actually is after some good round of testing, going after their website. The same goes with amber on black.Īlso when having a dark background it should be pale and not intense, so something like dark grey or teal will be better than black which in turn will be better than blue, red etc. Pure white on deep black can be hurting (the contrast being significantly high) but at the same time white on dark green is soothing. And contrast should be sufficiently high, but not enough to be straining. Right combination gives the right contrast, and contrast matters. Here the intensity of white beams on your eyes is much higher when compared to black.Īnd there is nothing like a best background color or fore color, but its the combination that matters. Now ask yourself is it dark on light that does this or light on dark? Here is the key, in that advocates who vouch for similarity with print suggesting that black outshines the white on paper, is blind to the fact that it is not the situation when it comes to electronic screen.
For sure, the right scheme lets the font (the writing) to project to fore and subdues the background. It will have to depend on personal tastes and habits more importantly. I don't think there is a definite answer for "light font on darker background" or vice versa. There is also disadvantage for black (not dark in general, but just pure black) background with white font if font is thin, since black creeps on to white and font would look a lil' blurry.ĭespite all that, personally I find reading on darker background much easier for eyes. The important aspect I understand is that the font is more important than coloring schemes. This article, though about web designing, warns about the hazards of mindless black theming. There is an endless debate on slashdot one can go through for all the unintelligible technical details (the more technical analyses seems to favour dark on light side though).
