Assuming I can’t change my background color to anything else than #000000, what kind of text color would you suggest other than #fff to improve readability?
I struggled with this problem a lot when I redesigned my website recently. I wanted a pure black background mainly for Amoleds (and because I love it) but couldn’t settle on a text color other than white. The problem I had was due to all those color shifting night modes like f.lux or iOS’s Night Shift. Once I used that on top of a tinted white, the text looked way to colorful which I thought to be distracting.
- markbernard 8y agoI hate websites with black backgrounds. It makes my eyes swim. I always turn off colour or just skip them.
- kevingrahl 8y agoThanks for the input. I personally love it, plus it saves energy! Once I figured out a good way to let my users change from Night Mode (dark bg) to Day Mode (white bg) without any scripts I plan to implement that as an option.
- DanBC 8y agoIf you insist on a black background (and I think that's less accessible) you should chose a font that is off-white toward yellow. Something like ffffee.
