Some color can strain ur eyes, but which one is good for > ur eyes without any straining? Personally, I use "blue4" background and "yellow" foreground. Your eyes cannot focus on blue as well as yellow, I have read (not in the document I reference below), and the overall effect is that the yellow characters seem to "float" imperceptibly above the blue background. I would suggest the article available at http://vera.inforamp.net/~poynton/notes/reducing_eyestrain/ for a more complete discussion of the topic.
