★Light colors and extended applications

Such colors appear to be first applied in some document processing software such as Word, and the operating system (such as MacOSX) for classification archiving, marking, or highlighted for use. such colors give people a sense of environmental protection, do not hurt their eyes, and the contrast is just right, it can be effectively differentiated, not too abrupt.
Google and Yahoo use these colors more mature. MSN also sets simple white themes in the new version of the website, and the new live series products are more loyal to the light blue and 1px lines ~ In addition, some emerging web-base office software also selects such colors in large quantities!
