Can certain colors hurt your eyes?
Bright colors in particular can be harsh on our eyes - but they also draw our attention. Think about the color yellow. In lighter shades, yellow is comforting and cheerful. But when the brightness is cranked up, yellow can be a stimulant on the eyes.
What is the most eye friendly color?
The consensus is that the "non-colours", white and black, and the colours yellow, green, and orange are generally most acceptable. These colours (yellow, green, orange) are in the middle of the visible spectrum (the range of colours that our eyes can detect) and are the easiest for the eye to see.
