people are STILL OUT HERE IN 2018 W BLACK TEXT ON DARK PURPLE AND DARK BLUE BACKGROUNDS. WHY.
lads, literally the very first rule of web design is READABILITY.
you have to have contrast between your background and your text.
like…….you pretty much can’t have a dark background if you have black text because it’s super difficult to read; if i have to highlight and puzzle out what your text says because it’s two shades different than your background? i and 95% of people looking at your page are going to hit that back button REAL fast
Can I just add something from a red/green color blind prospective, there are some that are good that say poor and vice versa for someone like me.
Black on grey is easily readable for me (actually one of the most clear). Blue on anything but black was readable for me. White on yellow is unreadable, I had to inverse to see it said “good,” and so on.
That said, this chart is super handy, because obviously I can’t always get in the readable zone for people with normal color vision.
To be fair @socialistexan the white on yellow definitely should not have said good, it’s completely unreadable to non colorblind people too.
