Re: [Groff] colorized man pages

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

With a world gone crazy over apps for this, apps for that,
and apps to manage apps (I'm guessing because I've never
owned a cell phone -- much less a smart phone) I see no
need for it.

But one factor nobody's mentioned is the fact that some
users are color blind, and the wrong combination of
colors can make a page very difficult to read, and that
is NOT what's needed.

I suggest leaving well enough alone.  Black text on a
white background has always worked well.  Strong
contrast (NEVER grey on white like so many "modern"
graphic designers seem to think is so pretty, even if
it makes text much harder to read) is still the best
way to put text on a screen or on paper either for
that matter.

My engineering manager from decades ago said the best
designs are always the simplest, and have the least
need for adjustments.
