Orange is a bad color for credits

[vchimpanzee]

CBS shows all seem to have the same format for credits. And the background color is a shade of orange or yellow that makes the credits very difficult to read. No, I will not buy a larger TV.

I'll try to remember to watch credits and observe them. Orange (as it appears to you) is one of those colors that tends to look different to different people.... if they are men. Men have a much higher tendency to some level of color-blindness or color-confusion if you want to be more politically correct. The common version is a "red-green' confusion. I see COLORS. I don't see a world that is black-and-white or just shades of grey. I see colors. (most of them.) But I am married to a woman who has 'Perfect Color' the way some people have ears for 'perfect pitch'. I created a bit of a stir one day when EDS was owned by General Motors and I blurted out to the 'politically correct culture' at EDS: You obviously had a woman programmer, or a female team of programmers create this program. After I got everyone scraped off the ceiling I explained: If there had been any men on the team or in quality control, one of them would have held up their hand and said: There is a problem with this screen layout. I know there is text being painted.... but I can't see it!.

Making the screen larger may not help if you can't see whatever color is being called orange.

It could be more helpful for CBS if it uses black for The End Credits while promoting its upcoming shows.

It's not the credits that are orange. It's the background. Although one show used a dark blue background, so maybe they're learning their lesson.

About the screen being larger: yes, it would help. But I seem to spend all my money on getting TV signals to my house and recording what's on them.

Another dark blue background. Maybe they're getting the message.
