Is it just me?

Color is one of those things that's hard to gauge, as everyone's monitor is different, never mind people's eyes, prescriptions, the lighting in the room, etc. A color that's very light on my monitor is plenty dark on Paul's, for example, and some nice but dark colors on mine look black on his. When humans are reading type, black text on a white background is most readable, so unless I am making the text bigger and bold for, say, a birthday greeting, I keep it black.

so ... I keep it black.

AMEN!!

And a few of us are Color Blind -
which makes some colors almost disappear!!

Colors with poor contrast on a white background -
anything "light" >>> Pink, Green, Orange, Yellow, soft Blues ...
all "wash out" and are almost IMPOSSIBLE to read!!

Help the Handicapped!! >>> Write BLACK!!

Oh man, YES! I can not read the ones where people use light text. To make matters worse, they often use bold, which is supposedly to make it more legible but it makes it a big fat blurb of color that I can't read.

And the centered thing? Drives me batty! English is a left justified language. Hebrew is right justified. Centeing is used to emphasis, like a poem, a quote, a sales ad, memo, etc. Not for daily use.

Well, I am sure there is a special exemption for you.

Amazing! I thought I was the only one having trouble with some of the colors, centered threads. It is nice to know it is not only me. And yes I will skip the ones with yellow or bright pink - just too hard on they eyes. And I think someone used like a silver (or so it looked to me) and it to was hard to read. I don't mind colors but please use the darker ones for those of us with eye problems.
