    “Actually, the red on white and the green on white are the most common trouble contrast options.”
    No they’re not. The contrast between green and red is the most common trouble contrast. But that’s no issue in your example…

    Thank you for your comment. I have been looking at your blog and it seems that you know a lot about colors.

    Still, I think that ReadWriteWeb does not have the most happy combination of colors, seen from the usability point of view. I myself don’t feel comfortable reading red on white and vice versa, and I think this could also be a problem for a lot of people, many users with visual disabilities already have problems reading other friendlier color combinations.

    Please keep in mind that I am not talking about art, but more about usability.

    Interesting comment and thanks for the link to your blog!
