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. Nick Benimoff AT&T Bell Laboratories att!hound!nib
