What color font is best on a black background?
Black backgrounds: High-chroma colors are best for black backgrounds because they offer a good contrast ratio without the eye fatigue (which occurs with white text on a black background).
Should text be black?
High Contrast for Accessibility
Pure black isn't harmful to all users. Low vision users, who are sight impaired but not blind, tend to read text better with pure black text or white text on a black background.
Is it better to read white text on black?
While white text on a black background provides very high value contrast, it is less readable and causes greater eye fatigue than black text on a white background. All light-colored text on dark backgrounds causes eye fatigue.
Is blue text hard to read?
Most people who understand even a little about color know they should not use red text on a blue background ( hard to read ), or blue text on a red background ( hard to read ) because the normal human eye, with normal lenses, cannot focus on certain shades of red and blue at the same time.
