Hi Robbie,
Was thinking how to put my reply but Petrina has said it all.
It is a lot less tiring on the eyes using dark print on a light
background.
But for headings or stuff you might want to highlight then a contrast
can be useful.

Hi Robbie,
I have a bit of sight and would think that a bright coloured background
with a dark text is probably the best. I just had a quick look at some
websites and this is the main thing that would come about.
Usually it is black text on white background or say red text on a
ofwhite or light blue background.
I suppose the more striking the colour like red on a light background
the easier it is to see and also it would draw your attention to it. I
have also noticed that things like "log in" or "view cart" are boxed and
in a vibrant text to get the user to see it initially when the site
comes up.
Hope this helps. Contact me offlist if you want to discuss it more.
have a nice day
Petrina
