suppose green on black is easier to read, as do one make a color theme where the gui (and applied to all programs word, override browser colors, notepad) is based in darker colors (black, dark gray, dark blue) and the text is lighter (green, yellow, cyan), but the os is stupid so when you try to print from word you have nice black sheets of paper with light green text, todays WYSIWYG OS and printers don't have the notions of "Color Paper" and "Text Color Paper" as example in word will be black on green but when sending to printer the OS Neutralize the "Color Paper" and change the "Text Color Paper" to black, as a friendly, ergo WYSIWYG in the new century
