This study examined legibility performance and subjective preference for text/background color combinations displayed on a video monitor. Luminance contrast was fixed at two preoptimized levels, either with text brighter than the background (10:1) or vice versa (1:6.5). In Experiment 1, 32 subjects rated about 800 color combinations. No evidence suggested differential effects of luminance polarity or hue, with the only exception that cool background colors (blue and bluish cyan) tended to be preferred for the light-on-dark polarity. Saturation had the most important influence on ratings. Any desaturated color combination appears to be satisfactory for text presentation. In Experiment 2 a reduced set of 18 color combinations was investigated with a new sample of 18 subjects. Reading and search times as well as multidimensional ratings were evaluated. There was no evidence for an influence of luminance polarity or chromaticity on performance. Subjective ratings corresponded well with the results of Experiment 1.
本研究考察了视频显示器上文本/背景颜色组合的易读性表现和主观偏好。亮度对比度固定在两个预先优化的水平，要么文本比背景亮（10:1），要么反之（1:6.5）。在实验1中，32名受试者对约800种颜色组合进行了评分。没有证据表明亮度极性或色调有差异影响，唯一的例外是对于亮对暗极性，冷背景颜色（蓝色和蓝青色）往往更受青睐。饱和度对评分有最重要的影响。任何不饱和的颜色组合似乎都适合文本呈现。在实验2中，对一组减少到18种的颜色组合进行了研究，新的18名受试者参与其中。评估了阅读和搜索时间以及多维评分。没有证据表明亮度极性或色度对表现有影响。主观评分与实验1的结果非常吻合。
