I have a web application that works as a word processor/text editor with a text area for main input. It is designed through CSS. What background color is best to encourage the user to concentrate on the work and improve productivity? Does using a linear gradient or radial gradient have psychological effect? This text area part is the most important part, so the coloring of the other parts are flexible.

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

I think the background should be clean - just white, or maybe paper-like. You can give users some options to choose from. Some may prefer clean card, the others, ruled paper. A great way to make users focus on writing would be creating a distraction-free interface for writing - minimize the elements not directly related to writing, make the iconography minimallistic and you can allow users to go full screen. Regarding background - if you provide full screen, you could also add a dark theme. A good example to follow is Byword app: http://bywordapp.com/ |
