If there are I'd love > to find out more about this topic A few good links are gathered on the CETIS site http://www.cetis.ac.uk/members/accessibility/links/disabilities/cogdis#web As a general principle, as far as I'm aware, the advice is to avoid pure black on white, as the high contrast may result in overpowering "rivers of whitespace", and that light shades of cream/yellow are preferrable as a background colour.
