Abstract

An experiment is reported in which subjects were required to identify letters and digits presented on a viewdata display, and identification times were recorded. All 42 possible color-on-color combinations were shown as separate displays. The results indicate which color-on-color pairings significantly reduce character visibility, and a list of recommended combinations is given.
