I do have font preferences but my greater preference is background color. I've found that hex color #FEF0DF as a background tires me less. For reference, it's roughly the Financial Times background.
Calibre allowing me to set the background color to my preference is a godsend for a heavy reader. HN's background is pretty good also. Anyone know the hex?

- Wowfunhappy 4y agoGGP explicitly asked for the HN background color at the end of his comment.
- Sunspark 4y agoHN's background is too light. Try #EDD1B0 instead (R 237 G 209 B 176).

- Wowfunhappy 4y agoOn paper or e-ink, this approach makes sense. On a backlit screen, maximum contrast ratio also means maximum difference in the amount of light emitted, which can be unpleasant.
