Eyestrain, headaches, and other ill effects of working at a video
display terminal aren't eased by changing either the office lighting
or the color of the characters.  So say researchers at the University
of California, Berkeley, who studied 35 people as they worked at VDTs
with white, green, or amber characters in rooms with incandescent or
fluorescent light.  A likelier cause of strain, they found, was
sitting too close to the screen or making it too bright.

[ no source or reference given, unfortunately, because I don't
  believe it and suspect that "the press" may be misunderstanding or
  falsely condensing what the researchers, whoever they may be,
  studied and concluded.  In any case, from personal experience I
  dispute that office lighting and color of display is not
  significant.  Ill-effects?  35 cases? hmmp - Werner ]
