The "No Dark Background with White Text on a Projector" Rule

For Print/Remote: Dark mode (charcoal background, neon green/orange accent colors for circuits) looks modern.
For Classroom Projectors: Use white background, dark grey text. Projectors bleed light; dark slides look washed out.
Fonts: Use sans-serif (Arial, Calibri, Segoe UI). Serif fonts (Times New Roman) are unreadable from the back of a room.
