BACKGROUND TEST

Black Font:

This is a test to illustrate the effect of this background on the readibility of standard text in standard BLACK.  The background graphic is also set against a charcoal background color (bgcolor=#444444).  Many times text is rendered illegible by the background color or graphic.  For that reason, among others, I have created this html file as a means of testing both black (standard) letters and white letters while using a charcoal background color (bgcolor=#444444). (If you use a dark graphic that is transparent, you need a dark background color to prevent too great a contrast between the background graphic and the background color for any color of text to be read.)



White Font:

This is a test to illustrate the effect of this background on the readibility of standard text colored WHITE.  The background graphic is also set against a charcoal background color (bgcolor=#444444).  Many times text is rendered illegible by the background color or graphic.  For that reason, among others, I have created this html file as a means of testing both black (standard) letters and white while using a charcoal background color (bgcolor=#444444). (If you use a dark graphic that is transparent, you need a dark background color to prevent too great a contrast between the background graphic and the background color for any color of text to be read.)

This paragraph is in an off-white/light gray (#DDDDDD).   Legible if not as distinct as white, it would allow your audience to print something that would be (barely) readable when printed on white paper.
