Re: Questions regarding color and readability

Let me introduce you to wayneedick@gmail.com <mailto:wayneedick@gmail.com>

He has looked at these issues a lot and can give you some good leads.


For allowable colors that you can use and still have needed contrast - see  
Black Text on Colors that just pass at several contrast ratios <http://trace.wisc.edu/contrast-ratio-examples/Sample_Text_BlackOnColors.htm>
White Text on Colors that just pass at several contrast ratios <http://trace.wisc.edu/contrast-ratio-examples/Sample_Text_WhiteOnColors.htm>
(these are from the color samples link in Understanding WCAG 2.0 ) 

there are many examples here that are much less contrast than black on white —  and still pass WCAG
(PS the top rows are the ones that pass - the other rows in a block are what they look like (approx.) to people with color vision differences. 




If you are looking for something tuned to one person - you can have even less contrast of course

However, I didn't have any luck in finding any guidelines that talking about color combinations, readability and migraines/eye constraints. For example, I heard from many people saying that they have a migraine or eye constraints when they spend their time reading white text on black background for few minutes. Hope to hear from you soon. Wish you have great week
