The paper studyed the relationship between the background color and visual fatigue, aimed to get a proper background color which can reduce visual fatigue. Experiment from three aspects to study: single color and visual fatigue relationship, the relationship between synthetic colors and visual fatigue, the relationship between paper whiteness and visual fatigue. Statistical analysis: single color is not appropriate as a long-length read background color; compared with the single-color samples, synthetic color helps relieve visual fatigue, and the most suitable background colors are tan and Moccasins color; the cultural paper with higher whiteness easily cause visual fatigue, so appropriatly reduce the whiteness helps relieve visual fatigue.
