“In every color combination surveyed, the darker text on a lighter background was rated more readable than its inverse (e.g. blue text on white background ranked higher then white text on blue background).”

I’m surprised. I had thought that white on black (or gray) is better. In my own experience, I’ve found that a darker overall shade is much more pleasant when sitting at the computer for a while. (If there were an easy way to make the internet generally light on dark, I’d be all over it.)
