I thought the no-pure white/black was due to human visual perception. That neither occurs in nature and they seem fake/artificial to the viewer. Nothing about how good it looks on the medium.
- pessimizer 4y ago> That neither occurs in nature and they seem fake/artificial to the viewer. It also doesn't occur on monitors. White and black on a screen is not pure, screens aren't that good.
- eikenberry 4y agoVery true. This is more coming from print media where you can get closer to true colors. This might be one of those things that needs a tweak when translating between mediums. Much like optimal line length.
- carlosjobim 4y agoSadly we're still in the past when it comes to displays to be used outdoors, but if you compare a Kindle in sunlight, the white background is probably an order of magnitude brighter than any normal computer or telephone screen. "Don't use pure black for text" or "don't use a pure white background" are total myths among designers. You'll never have anything close to a pure color on current display technology.
