An hypothesis for typographical endeavours. Black or white for text to be read. Colors for links.
What about red? For white-black-red pages, red can be links. Which makes every links an emergency. Hence the need to quiet down with a touch of light blue.
What about boxes? Shades of gray. Something neutral, near the background. As long as the reader recognizes where to click, i.e. on text emphasized by colors.
Follow-up on the experiment:
