Blue is commonly thought of as "cold", but it is also the color to which the human eye is least responsive. On a white background a reasonably dark blue is pretty readable because to the luminance receptors (rods) on the retina, but it is poor in combination with other colors when there is not much luminance variation. It tends to look very fuzzy. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
