I think I avoid most of the blunders mentioned -- except that I have been using black text on a white background, thinking that it was the least likely to conflict with graphs and photos. Since many graphics have a white background, you avoid that white-box-around-the-photo look. So what color combination should I use? I'd like advice similar to the info about colorblind viewers -- that was eye-opening (sorry, couldn't resist).
