More about the PDF Presentation, "Op Art Using Contrasting Colors:

The"Op Art Using Contrasting Colors" presentation looks at how contrasting colors are used in real-life situations to get your attention. Using the grocery store as an example, apples, carrots, and potatoes are used to show how packaging and display surfaces can help their produce appear brighter. The last half of the presentation gives some cautionary examples of how value is also an important element in combining text and background colors.
