that's a bit disappointing, seeing as this format is by far my favourite because of it being very simple and aesthetically pleasing.

any suggestions? my intuitive response to this would be black on brightly hued navy blue, but i worry that is also low-contrast, which also causes issues.

can't please everyone!

This option sounds like it would be a poor reading for all. You can't please everyone but it seems like you can figure out how to displease most.

I pictured black text on darker blue background. That is readable enough.

Black on white. That is #000000 on #ffffff.

i think this is the 2nd best option, not the best: as someone who deals with artsy stuff more than pure information (or more accurately, i prefer to interpret the goal of transmitting information as an artistic task), i find that too much white tends to overpower any graphics you have on the screen.

the benefits of a physical white background is because your lighting will make background/subject evenly lit, but on a computer screen, the white just tends to overpower.
