Does anyone know where I can find some good empirical data relating to
the following question:  

Are there colors that should be avoided in constructing a user interface
for presentation on a CRT due to fatigue factors?  I.E., consider the
following scenario.  We have a user who sits in front of a color CRT
looking at text and graphics for the better part of an 8-hour shift.
Are there colors that, more than others, might cause problems of a 
fatigue or perceptual nature?

Thanks for any help.
