Red-Blue Juxtaposition Avoidance

guideline to avoid placing highly saturated red and blue colors directly next to each other, especially on a digital display. This combination can create an unsettling visual effect known as chromostereopsis, where the colors appear to be at different depths, causing visual vibration and viewer discomfort. While it can be used intentionally for a jarring effect, it is generally avoided to maintain visual comfort and clarity.
