    We once had a requirement come into a team I working in, for a screen with red lettering on a green background ... the requirement stood despite the advice. The coder that was given the work was colour blind. So was the person that QA'd their work. So was the person that did the acceptance testing. There were some seriously painful colour combinations doing the rounds until the requirements were amended (to white on black). All in all a huge waste of time and money. :doh:

      Don't! It reminds me of a product I worked on back in the very early days of Windows. I think every possible font and colour was used. X|

              My first thought - but probably a devilish plan by the client in an attempt to avoid paying!
