I dunno, it could be annoying. I played an indy 500 game that asked history questions from the manual and was a pain to find the page with the answer.

And I remember a Mickey game where you needed to find a specific pose in black ink on a dark brown paper. Poor contrast was meant to defeat photocopiers but also made it a pain for human eyes.
