I am interested in finding books or articles which discuss the use of color
for VDT's.

Specific areas of interest:
	-Use of background color to indicate type of screen
	(e.g. green = help, blue = data entry, red = error)
	-Foreground/Background color combinations that avoid eye fatigue.
	-Appropriate uses of intensity.
	-How to avoid problems w/ color-blind operators.

I would prefer how-to literature, but theoretical discussions are okay.
Please e-mail and I will summarize if there are other interested parties.
