Basic Colors:

This is an example of the basic, strongly colored text, first of all going lighter: Flanked by his father and Clinton, Bush told reporters at the White House, "I have asked two of America's most distinguished private citizens to head a nationwide charitable fund-raising effort." This is the one we are up against, as in this one will be th bright one and this page is about the subtle one.

(1) Too Subtle, First Test:

This is an example of subtly colored text, first of all going lighter: Flanked by his father and Clinton, Bush told reporters at the White House, "I have asked two of America's most distinguished private citizens to head a nationwide charitable fund-raising effort." This is the one we tried first, just as a semi-random baseline.

This is an example of subtly colored text, then trying to bold it as well: Flanked by his father and Clinton, Bush told reporters at the White House, "I have asked two of America's most distinguished private citizens to head a nationwide charitable fund-raising effort." This one is too loud.

This is an example of subtly colored text, with a much lighter shade: Flanked by his father and Clinton, Bush told reporters at the White House, "I have asked two of America's most distinguished private citizens to head a nationwide charitable fund-raising effort." This one is quite visible. Compared to the full blue it's quite similar. Bold and full blue is really bright though. This is the loudest part of the blue spectrum.

This is an example of subtly colored text and more saturated: Flanked by his father and Clinton, Bush told reporters at the White House, "I have asked two of America's most distinguished private citizens to head a nationwide charitable fund-raising effort." This one is quite good.

This is an example of subtly colored text, taking the blue from above and trying to add green: Flanked by his
father and Clinton,
Bush told reporters at the
White House, "I have asked two of
America's most distinguished private citizens to head a
nationwide charitable fund-raising effort." This one is quite good and it
showed that you cannot just hue-shift the color when there is more than one
color. They all play off each other.

(2) Trying Something Stronger

This time I went up half way to the max on brightness: Flanked by his
father and Clinton,
Bush told reporters at the
White House, "I have asked two of
America's most distinguished private citizens to head a
nationwide charitable fund-raising effort." This one is quite good and it
showed that you cannot just hue-shift the color when there is more than one
color. They all play off each other.

Neatly in a justified paragraph: This time I went up half way to the max on brightness: Flanked by his father and Clinton, Bush told reporters at the White House, "I have asked two of America's most distinguished private citizens to head a nationwide charitable fund-raising effort." This one is quite good and it showed that you cannot just hue-shift the color when there is more than one color. They all play off each other. And again, to make the paragraph longer: Flanked by his father and Clinton, Bush told reporters at the White House, "I have asked two of America's most distinguished private citizens to head a nationwide charitable fund-raising effort."

(3) Backing down

Trying a mid-way point of brightness: Flanked by his
father and Clinton,
Bush told reporters at the
White House, "I have asked two of
America's most distinguished private citizens to head a
nationwide charitable fund-raising effort." This one is quite good and it
showed that you cannot just hue-shift the color when there is more than one
color. They all play off each other.
