    Full-contrast black-on-white is also a common eye strain and/or migraine trigger.

      Would white-on-black cause the same problem or fix it? I’ve been curious about this kinda thing for a while, but never curious enough to research it since it’s never affected me.

        I’m honestly not sure; I expect it varies from person to person. I certainly find it difficult to look at either way around.

        I recall in the CRT era, yellow-on-blue was considered the most comfortable.

        I can recall always typing “COLOR 15, 1, 1:WIDTH 40” to switch from light-grey-on-black to white-on-blue when I went to program my 386, much easier to read.

        Not sure how those studies map to the different properties of LCD screens.
