Hi Tink

I tend to like yellow on blue. It does not really matter to me whether it is bright yellow or a cream colour but I find the contrast between the yellow and blue very effective and easy to see.


Just my viewpoint, others may well have different ideas.

Subject: [access-uk] Web colour schemes.




Afternoon,

I'm wanting to put together some different stylesheets for my web
site, so that anyone who visits the site will be able to select one that
suits their reading style, taste and technology the best.

I would be interested to hear which colour combinations people with
low vision find particularly useful. I know much of the theory, what I'm
looking for now is how it works in practice.

For example, I know that some people find that a dark background is
easier to read, but is there any preference for black over navy blue or
grey?

What colour text is prefered over one of those dark backgrounds?
Yellow is popularly suggested, but is pale yellow easier to see than bright
yellow, or is another combination better altogether?


Below is a list of the elements on my page which can be changed in
colour:

*Background.
*Text.
*Headings.
*Links, visited links and the current page link.
*Trimmings, such as borders.

If anyone has a particular combination that would work for all or
some of those elements, it would help me put together some stylesheets that
support many more people.


Thanks for any help you can offer.

Tink.
