To achieve optimum legibility & readabilitywhen working with color and type isestablishing appropriate contrast betweenletters and their backgrounds

Legibility

When using type and colour,legibility comes from contrast between type and background.

The strongest contrasts are A and B.

The weakest contrast is C.

Legibility

As type and background colours move closer together,legibility decreases.

The design of the type also affects the way the colour appears.

A serif typeface does not have a big surface to carry the colour, weakening its intensity and making it appear lighter than the original colour chosen.

Legibility A sans or slab serif typeface can carry the colour better, maintaining its intensity.
