By blue light filter you mean a filter that removes blue light? like the
night viewing mode?

I think there might be a case for white background in a well lit sunny
room. But on cloudy days or at night a black background is better. And
blue text is easier to see for me. But this web page presents a
different view.

In the examples of the word "hello" blue on black looks quite clear to
me, but then so does black on white. But blue on red and red on blue are
disasters.
