I suspect there has been - just not in our field.

The reason I changed the colours on my web tutor about a year 
ago was because one of my users who was a graphics designer 
chided me for the use of contrasting colours. It is apparently 
easier to read something if all the colours on a page are from 
the same family - different shades of red say. Contrasting colours 
clash and so should only be used where you want to draw attention 
away from the main text.

I'm no expert but he sounded like he knew what he was talking 
about and the end result pleases me so I stuck with it! :-)
