What people use a khaki screen for
Because Khaki is so light, a khaki screen doubles as a soft light source: prop a phone or tablet beside you as fill light on a video call, use it as a gentle reading light, or as a backlit surface for tracing.
As a saturated color, khaki makes a bold backdrop for product photos, thumbnails and streams, and a strong mood light for a desk or party.
Yellow screens are bright and warm, useful as a cheerful ambient light, a low-blue reading light in the evening, or an attention-grabbing background for signage and photos. A full yellow field drives the red and green sub-pixels at once, so any pixel that stays dark or blue-tinted stands out immediately.
As a test pattern, a flat khaki field makes a dead or stuck pixel jump out, and it exercises the red and green sub-pixels.
