Mike S to Anton Shepelev:

My friend has recently developed a syntax-highlit-
ing scheme based on my adivce to imitate on screen
the contrast of good printed text. He did so by
comparing the lightntess of the various font colors
with that of the background in the LAB color space.
From photography I know that printed text has a
contrast from about 9:1 to 15:1, whereas a pitch-
black background produces the maximum contrast of
which your monitor is capable. It is orders of mag-
nitude higher than the comfotalbe value.

Ask and it shall be given unto thee:

Pay attention to the problem on Eternal-Septermber
that prevents propagation. It is not fixed yet.

By the way, 15:1 may be a low estimate because it
corresponds to only four steps.


I'm very late to this conversation, but the color layout in that pic
is very good.
