I seek advice on the recommended combination of colours for
the Amiga Display to minimise eye fatigue when viewing text.
This question has been prompted for two reasons:
(1)  I now tend to read (and respond) to considerably more
News since the recent partitioning of the Amiga News Groups!
(2) An Article entitled "Physiological Principles for the
Effective Use of Color" by Gerald Murch Tektronix ,
Incorporated published in November 1984 Issue of IEEE Computer
Graphics and Applications gives a very interesting insight into
the use of Colour to maximise the potential of graphics systems.

Can anyone provide some guidelines or hints on the best colour
combination for the Amiga display?  For example I note from the
above article that blue is sensible to use as the full background
colour. But what amount of blue? etc etc.

Thanks for any help  ( yes and perhaps I DO need glasses!)
