Does anyone know why the Ignatius RSV-SCE has yellowish paper? I don’t have a problem with it; I am just wondering what the thinking is. Also, after spending some time with my new softcover edition, I am liking it quite a bit. It has a nice big floppy feel to it, and it sits open on the table very well, without seeming to strain the binding. This is a big improvement over the 1st ed.
 
I’m guessing, of course, but it may have something to do with the fact that black on yellow documents are less hard on the eyes, thereby reducing eye-strain. See this article on document design:

Are you finding that’s the case with your new Bible?

If you read your Bible as much as I read mine, that’s not a small consideration!
 
Thank you Fidelis! That is a great answer. It is in fact easy on the eyes.
 
Perhaps there is a subliminal reference to the quality of the original scrolls upon which the inspired word was written.
