Pure black text on white backgrounds can cause eye strain when users read the text over an extended period. White has 100% color brightness, and black has 0% color brightness. Such a disparity in color brightness creates intense light levels that overstimulate the eyes when reading text. This causes the eyes to work harder to adapt to the brightness.

Another reason to avoid full black as the background or foreground is that most displays are less standard, (gamma 2.0 vs sRGB), and are calibrated most poorly near black. This causes the subtle levels used for smoothing fonts to be incorrect.

The png images on that page have a transparent background color rather than white, and the background color of those images are set to white with CSS. Just like the page does, you can set a background color of the images by adding something like the following to the styling section.

I know that you can change the preview mode background color in Preferences>Guides and Pasteboards. When I was working on a document, without going into preferences, my preview mode (shortcut: W) randomly turned black. I am assuming I pressed some keyboard shortcut accidentally or it was a glitch? I went into the Preferences to change the color back to gray, and the background was now set as Black, even though I did not change it in Preferences originally. Anyone know what's up?

It must have been a glitch that caused it to happen in preview mode. However in presentation mode (shortcut:Shift+W) you can change the background color between White, Black and Grey by pressing "W" for white, "G" for grey and "B" for black.

If you have an older version like CS6 you are able to change the background color to white, black or gray in the preview mode just by hitting the corresponding letter. If you wanted to preview with a white background you would use key, W or if you wanted to see it with a black background you would use key, B.

You can compare the header background color between every single page and the "Products" page, where the header background is completely white. We cant ready neither the title nor the links to the other pages.

On mobile mode its even worse, because its taking 1/3 of the screen with a blank area.

The difference between the buttons is complex and opens up additional questions of accessibility. Join me as I qualitatively deconstruct why the white text button is more legible than the black text button, despite what quantitative results such as contrast ratios would suggest.

As I looked at the two buttons, I was still convinced that white was more accessible. It seemed to have a lot more contrast, but the contrast ratios varied hugely between black text button (6.44 AA Compliant, or well above the minimum contrast required) and white text button (3.26 AA Large, or well below the minimum contrast required). I decided to deconstruct the disparity to see if there was a loophole, using a few tools from my experience over the years to figure out how and why this was happening.

With all the colors shown in each simulation of a different type of color blindness, I did a new squint test. Still, white text buttons appeared to have more contrast. I then took an eyedropper to the new color seen by our various color blindness types and found the HEX/RGB background generated to see if the contrast ratios changed. Interestingly, they stayed the same with a wide difference between the black text button and the white text button.

Conclusion: Tools gave me different answers. When I used Stark to simulate a squint test for different types of color-blind users, I found that the white text button still showed up the most clearly. However, Colorable told another story: the black text button was favored by a wide margin. In order to see if the problem lay with the tools or some other variable, I needed to understand the human factor.

Out of everyone surveyed, 61% of users preferred the white text button. Even color blind users thought the white text button was more legible. I was curious how the other 39% landed on the black text button, so I looked at answers one and two to see how different types of color blindness affected the second answer.

The results indicated a clear pattern of preference depending on the type of color blindness someone has. Protanopia/protanomaly color-blind users favored white text by 71%, while users with deuteranopia/deuteranomaly were split 50/50. The single user who had tritanopia/tritanomaly favored the white text, and the one user surveyed who had monochrome/achromatopsia favored the black text.

Conclusion: The data set of users preferred the white text button over the black text button, primarily because of contrast. But different types of color blindness produced different results. Specifically, the monochrome/achromatopsia user preferred black text. I also uncovered some interesting legibility concerns. Some users had unique issues reading the black text, saying it caused buzzing and headaches. Even though the black text is the accessible option by WCAG standards, it fails to account for this particular level of accessibility.

In the squint test, color contrast tools, color blindness simulation tools, and user testing, the white text button wins. It is only in the color ratio math and given certain types of color blindness that the black text button wins. But this conclusion comes with several caveats.

Since the math is what dictates how the law decides if a site is accessible, it is critical to design based on math. However, the math that I researched has lost me in their equations and standards of color contrast. I would like to believe that there is an outlier, especially in the color orange that causes these digits to be off. Further research is needed to help determine why the white text button was preferred. If you're hoping for a clear answer on our orange black/white challenge, unfortunately, I don't have a great resolution here. I'd encourage you to follow the official guidelines, and as accessibility standards develop and evolve, I hope to understand more why these outliers appear to break the established standards.

Contrast between the foreground and background is one of the most important factors for the ease of reading. If coloured text is used on a bright background the contrast will be weak, for optimal contrast results is white text against dark colored backgrounds. In signage & wayfinding design color is the combining factor to harmonize the sign with the environment. Color programs will distinguish signs from each other and can offer an indication of the message without having to be able to understand the language of the sign.

With a black background the lettering tends to stand out more onto to background than with other colored backgrounds. Black is one of the few surfaces that lets other colored text work great together. Beware of too small lettering with too high contrast (white lettering), these will lead to less legibility of the text because of overwhelming background. With large lettering white on black works great. Also yellow on black is a good combination.

White background surface gives the most workable combinations, but beware of that white can absorb its environment. Black lettering tends to be squeezed into the background making it hard to read. Lower contrast lettering gives better results like blue, orange and red.

White backgrounds can be used specific sign projects where design plays a bigger part than the actual wayfinding. For instance using silver lettering on a white background can give fabulous results, due the shadow of the silver lettering the text becomes readable on the white surface.

Red is a very powerful color which stands out in a visual crowded environment. I have seen various other signs produced with red but in my opinion red is a signal color. Works great with black, white and yellow lettering.

Yellow background works best in visual crowded environments, for architectural and psychological factors yellow is often used. Yellow with black lettering sends out a clear information message which is needed in such an environment. Using yellow also makes in easy to use orange, red and green which all work great together in a signage system.

Also for traffic signs yellow works good as background color in combination with black lettering. In a outdoor situation, yellow stands out from its background giving a clear message. In many European countries yellow is chosen as background color.

Blue is one of mankind favorite color, as is represents sky, heaven, trust and faith. The color blue is good recognized with white lettering as information sign. In the Netherlands all highway signs are with blue background as well as the railway signs.

To use blue in sign systems beware of create enough contrast in order to make the signs work best. For instance with light blue a higher contrast lettering will be needed such as black and for dark blue white lettering will work best.

On a silver background almost all colors work well, even white. In future articles I will go deeper into using silver as background. Metal signs are frequently used in office signage, with black lettering it will create a very stylish look and feel.

When changing the background color, consider the purpose and content. Official documents should have a plain white background for clarity. Creative documents like flyers can have textured or patterned backgrounds.
