- Some words or identifiers should always have a specific color - The same thing should have the same color everywhere - Good contrast is at odds with: - WYSIWYG editor that behaves like Word If you give users the option to use all bold Comic Sans, someone will do just that - and other users they share their work with will have to bear the brunt of reading it. Silly example, but it goes to show that you really can't have it all. For every user that cares about one of these things, there's 9 others for whom having to read, understand and decide not to care about it makes the program more complicated than it needs to be.
