My 80's computer was (by default) bright yellow text over bright blue background.

It probably sounds quite bad. It was. You could change that with a few commands but you'd have to do it each time you boot the thing, and I didn't bother, it was "normal" to me.

That didn't prevent young me from spending hours copying lines of BASIC code from magazines, but it was tiring. Nowadays I'm just like, seriously, who thought that colour scheme was a good idea?

Yeah, I remember our first computer was green text on a dark screen.

Bright colour on dark background makes sense IMO.

This, however :
