hi all,

not really 'just' a css question, but i figure with enuf designers
in/around here ...

for any given RGB background color, is there a rule-of-thumb for text
color that would define "sufficient but minimum" contrast for the text
to be just barely legible/distnguishable ?

i'd guess it depends, in part, on any individual's color sensitivity ...
but wondering what if any 'guideline' is?

thx!

richard
