[ PubMed] Whether colored overlays help reading or not seems at least controversial: although initial evidence was indeed provided, more recent studies both highlight the methodological issue of previous studies and show that colored overlays do not help reading ( Ritchie et al., 2011, Ritchie et al., 2012; Henderson et al., 2013), On the ground of contradictory findings as these, the [ American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), 2009] has claimed that there is not empirical evidence toward the efficacy of colored overlays in reading, reading acquisition, or dyslexia, and did not recommend their use.

Adopting these principles for dyslexic readers has the advantage of making all written communication easier on the eye for everyone. Pinna B., Uccula A., Tanca M. (2010).

Opt. 30Choosing the Best Paper Color for Dyslexia can be a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be. As someone who has struggled with dyslexia, I understand the importance of finding the right paper color to make reading easier. According to research, certain paper colors can reduce visual stress and improve reading speed and accuracy. Ritchie S. J., Della Sala S., McIntosh R. D. (2012). Irlen colored filters in the classroom: a 1-Year Follow-Up. Mind. Brain Educ. 6 Paper color can have a significant impact on reading performance for those with dyslexia. As mentioned earlier, using off-white or light yellow paper can reduce visual stress and improve reading speed and accuracy. Additionally, using a matte paper instead of a glossy paper can also reduce glare and make it easier to read. Research on paper color and dyslexia
Singleton C., Henderson L. M. (2007). Computerized screening for visual stress in children with dyslexia. Dyslexia 13 Is there a specific shade of paper that is best for those with dyslexia? It can vary from person to person, but light yellow and off-white are two popular options that have been found to be effective. Some of the symptoms of visual stress as blurring and illusory migrations of letters are similar to those reported in presence of magnocellular dysfunctions ( Stein and Walsh, 1997). A dysfunction of the magnocellular pathway would produce long lasting, anomalous visual traces which would interfere – by masking – with the visual processing of the stimulation thus causing blurring and distortions. The empirical evidence here is once more inconsistent ( Skoyles and Skottun, 2009).Woerz M, Maples WC. Test-retest reliability of colored filter testing.
