Rubrics are red.

Not disagreeing, just not understanding. I am not visually disabled and colour does not enhance my reading whether it is a book, and ereader or a tablet or monitor. Pictures are nicer in color and if it is magazine or book that relies heavily on pictures then that colour is definitely an asset in viewing the pictures, although I am not impressed by color in newspaper photos, perhaps the matte surface and cheap paper detracts.
Color in text and fancy backgrounds are not the way I want to read text. And for the great pictures I think you need a shiny display to really get the best effect which may be more tiring on the eyes.
So please tell me specifically how color actually helps people to read text whether a book or in a browser.
Maybe red rubrics are a good thing if you want to just get the most basic info required, but are they in common use and crucial to the general population? Have I been missing the millions of rubrics in every book and web page?
