My notes on text for presentations

2016-07-27

Observing a presentation that was mostly text on a white background, displayed on a projector.

  • black on white - good
  • green on white - terrible
  • blue on white - legible, but difficult to distinguish from black
  • light blue on white - ok
  • cyan on white - mostly terrible
  • red on white - ok

These colours were mostly all fully saturated (eg, blue #00f; cyan #0ff). I suspect that darker greens (#080) and lighter blues (#88f) would be better.

large blocks (for example, block graphics) ok in more or less any (fully saturated) colour.
