The way I remember it is, that one of the reason for white on black was
the lower sensitivity of the eye for flicker. The first monitors with a
white background were hailed as a huge improvement but they all -- both
highly expesive ISA card monitor combos and the Atari -- needed 70 Hz to
be acceptable. 60 Hz was considered borderline for colour when white
backgrounds were avoided.
