Web quality readability
Proper use of fonts and colors will make your site easier to read.
Pay attention to color contrast
For the vision is not good is not good for the people or the display device, a black and white or black and white is the best.
Gray text on a bright background, the contrast is poor:
| Grey text on a white background (#EEEEEE) |
| Grey text on a white background (#CCCCCC) |
| Grey text on a white background (#AAAAAA) |
| Grey text on a white background (# 888888) |
| Grey text on a white background (# 666666) |
| Grey text on a white background (# 444444) |
| Grey text on a white background (# 222222) |
| Grey text on a white background (# 111111) |
In gray text on a dark background, the contrast also poor:
| Grey text on a black background (# 222222) |
| Grey text on a black background (# 444444) |
| Grey text on a black background (# 666666) |
| Grey text on a black background (# 888888) |
| Grey text on a black background (#AAAAAA) |
| Grey text on a black background (#CCCCCC) |
| Grey text on a black background (#DDDDDD) |
| Grey text on a black background (#EEEEEE) |
With some - such as black and red, black and blue, yellow and green - will produce visual fatigue:
| Black text on a red background |
| Black text on a blue background |
| Yellow text on a green background |
The match was not bad:
| Black text on a grey background |
| Black text on a light blue |
| Black text on antique white |
| White text on dark blue |
Pay attention to the letter spacing
For the weak eyesight of readers, relatively close spacing of the letters with no small difficulty reading.
Moderate character spacing text easier to read.
