This is what bugs the ever-living shit out of me about this type of research.
A study may well have been done that shows a majority preference by humans for dark-on-light.
But unless the study showed that every human studied had that preference, it doesn't mean that all humans prefer dark-on-light.
Going from "the bell curve is a bit skewed to dark-on-light" to "vision research has shown that humans prefer dark-on-light, therefore light-on-dark is bullshit" is the thing that bad science journalism does, and it's a blight on humanity.
- noxToken 7y agoIn terms of productivity, I'm probably like the average person. I probably do better with dark-on-light. I do know with certainty that light is much more comfortable if it's not fff white. A light grey or a light beige (f6f6ef) is infinitely more comfortable.
