Good reading: "The Design of Every Day Things".

My Yamaha PSR keyboard has stenciled labels on medium gray metal. They 
use 2 different colors: black, and a light yellow. The light yellow is 
almost invisible against the gray. So more than 2-3 hours of learning on 
the part of Yamaha doesn't always enable them to hit the ball out of the 
park all the time. Fortunately, software is much more malleable!
