Dark Orange screen at a glance

| Brightness | 40% of a white screen | A medium light level — comfortable as ambient light. |
|---|---|---|
| Blue light | very low (0% of its light) | Very little blue light, so it is gentle on your body clock at night. |

| Text on it | Black text · 9.0:1 | Excellent contrast for captions or signs (WCAG AAA). |

What people use a dark orange screen for
As a saturated color, dark orange makes a bold backdrop for product photos, thumbnails and streams, and a strong mood light for a desk or party.
Orange screens give a warm, sunset-like glow with almost no blue light, so they work well as a relaxed evening ambient light behind a desk or TV, as seasonal (autumn or Halloween) decoration, and as a high-visibility backdrop. Because orange sits between red and yellow, it also helps confirm that the red and green sub-pixels of a panel are both firing.
As a test pattern, a flat dark orange field makes a dead or stuck pixel jump out, and it exercises the red sub-pixel.
