Have I defined a TEXT (http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/wilbur/body/body.html) color which makes the text easily readable on that background ?
If a body color is defined, it will override the default setting in most browsers for the background; however, the other default settings will remain unaffected. Therefore, if one were to set the body background color to black, but did not set the text font to white, the text might by default appear as black on a black background, rendering it unreadable. Remember that choosing a color from a scheme that utilize more than 8bit (256 colors) may increase the probability that it is unreadable. Your best bet is to use the colors found in the HTML 3.2 spec. (http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/wilbur/body/body.html) There is also a so-called “Web Palette” which is used by Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape and Mosaic. You can find more information about this at the colorguide (http://www.oit.itd.umich.
