So I just saw the YouTube video someone posted that showed nuclear reactors starting up, and the first thing I noticed was that they all glowed a very bright, pretty blue. I'm probably an idiot, but I was honestly expecting green, because of many years of dramatized depictions in popular media....
There is a lot of conflicting information out there when it comes to the best text to background contrast ratio for optimal accessibility. Generally, higher contrast is better, of course, but for people with dyslexia, a too bright background (e.g. black text on white) can also appear dazzling and thus harder to read.
Do you know of any reliable and “quotable” resources on this topic?
Can anybody explain why Google Messages for the web renders photos with blotches and overexposure issues (below) when the same photo saved to my laptop (above) looks fine? Never seen anything like this. Happened 5 times, all from my wife's iPhone. Fine in the phone app. Photos from others are fine. When I see stuff like this I always suspect color management issues, but this is weird and variable across the frame, I don't know what to think. JPG decoding error?
Why do we associate nuclear radiation with a green glow?
