    Full-contrast black-on-white is also a common eye strain and/or migraine trigger.

      Would white-on-black cause the same problem or fix it? I’ve been curious about this kinda thing for a while, but never curious enough to research it since it’s never affected me.

        I’m honestly not sure; I expect it varies from person to person. I certainly find it difficult to look at either way around.

        I know I read at some point a light gray (which is a shade of white I guess) and a dark gray (which is a shade of black) is ideal for reading for the most people. It shouldn’t be the highest contrast pure white on pure black, but something like that is the ideal.
