The DOs and the DO NOTs

Color Selection

Do Nots {Color}

• So sometimes I read stories and the color selection is horrible. It hurts my eyes, and just looks bad. Now, it isn't the colors themselves, but the color combo. Examples:
  • Bright Font with a Bright Text Select {Color}
    • TEXT  TEXT   TEXT  
       
  • Dull Font with a Dull Text Select {Color}
    • TEXT  TEXT TEXT 
       
• Another thing I see is Extremely bright Text. There isn't any text select to dim it down a bit, so I end up hurting my eyes. Examples:
  • TEXT TEXT 

Dos {Color}

If you are going to use a Bright or Dull color with a text select, please do one of the following:

• Use a bright text color on its complimentary dull text select color. Also Bold the text, so it's easier to read. Believe me it makes a difference if it's bolded or not (This will be explained later)
  • TEXT TEXT TEXT 
     
• If you are going to use a dull color use a text select color that is bright; make sure that the text seclect color is complimentary to the dull color. Bold the text as well.
  • TEXT TEXT TEXT
    
     

Now this might still hurt the reader's eyes depending on the color combo, but it is alot better to read this than the bottom version of this sentence.

Now this might still hurt the reader's eyes depending on the color combo, but it alot harder to read this sentance than the one above :(
