Le sujet
In "Why Every Interface Should Be Black And White" Heydon explores his monomaniacal obsession with black-and-white art and design, the benefits of designing without color from the outset, and the perils of adding color later. Color certainly gives something to an interface, but not necessarily anything worthwhile. Colors necessarily add visual complexity, which can be an impediment to cognition. And what color does add of value can often be added in a different, more accessible way. Maybe we don't need color at all.
