> > The human eye senses green colors most intensive, red colors > medium intensive and blue colors least intensive. > Interestingly, (or maybe not), a lens, whether in the eye or manufactured, focuses different colours at different planes, with red furthest back, and blue nearest. If you are short-sighted, the optician will select a lens that brings red into the sharpest focus. This is why, to me, text printed at the red end of the spectrum is easier to read (on a white background). On screen, a bright saturated red colour will appear to stand out of the screen, whereas blue areas will appear to recede into it. Red text on blue background, or blue on red, is the most difficult to read. Perhaps that's why the QL's default colours chosen for #1 and #2 were red & white? Personally, I never liked it and have my BOOT program change it. I sometimes think I can hear a sigh of relief hiss from the monitor, when the screen changes to white on black :O)
