Blue writing on a black background is nearly impossible to read at the best of times, so please reserve blue text for highlighting links on a white background…
Also, yellow text on a white background is no fun.
And if you ever use a pink background for anything…

Hey Calum, enjoying your tips!
I’d love it if people thought about ambient lighting when they chose their colour scheme.
That black background with white text looks really great on a computer screen, but if the room can’t be darkened your audience won’t be able to make out the text it properly.
I wish people would use a basic white background with black text if they knew (or even suspected!) that they won’t have control over the lighting in the room!
That’s so true.
And although a white background with black text can be good in a bright room. When placed in a pitch black room, that same white background can be painfully bright.
Mmm i believe that lemon yellow and dark blue are the easiest colours to have as your background/text, and red and black are one of the worst.
