I also turned the brightness nearly all of the way down.
This is the best I have found so far.
Remember, part of the assumptions for that research was the assumption that the text was going to be displayed on a crappy NTSC TV through the tuner.

Personally, on a nice sharp monochrome screen, I used to like amber text on a dark background.

. . . But for e-reading for pleasure, black text on a white page is fine.
