I've seen a few sites with very pale yellow on a white background.
You can barely tell that there is any text there, let alone read any of
it. I had to use the mouse to highlight the text so I could read it. I
though about emailing the webmasters, but decided that that was the
least of the problems on those sites.

BTW, have you ever had a look at: http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com/ ?

Oh yes! The yellow-on-white. Forgot that one (it's better forgotten). What
idiot would make a page ........ uh ....... now that I think about a sec., I
guess an idiot is *required* for that.

I have now. ;-)

Its a good place to go when you need a few good laughs. To think
that people spent time creating these messes, and think that they did a
good job.

Tim Seifert makes no pretence at being nice

I've seen that page before, when someone asked what people thought of
they web design skills. ;-)

Mine are basic, but I can build a working website that doesn't look
too bad. http://home.earthlink.net/~mike.terrell/ is one of them. I
don't want or need mouseovers, flash, animated graphics and other BS.
The only thing that moves on the site is the main page, and its at the
bottom. Its for something I believe in, so it goes on every website I
build for myself. I use simple style sheets and a couple very basic
javascripts to make everything load faster as you browse the pages.

Red on black makes my brain seize up ;-)

Better replace the bathroom mirror, then. <badump-bump!>

However blue on pale yellow can look really nice - in the 70's we used to
get drawings from our US sister company that were in pale blue - seemed
more pleasant to look at somehow and their staff always had yellow note
pads too. Somehow they were just easier on the eye.

That's how they come out of a Diazo machine - they used to be called
"blueprints".

Cheers!
