Do bright lights or a bright sunny day trigger migraines?

I have all my backgrounds black with white text. So much easier on the eyes.
Genetics plays a big role there. Same with pigmentation of the retina. Your retina generally matches your hair/skin tone. So if you a pale redhead your retina is pale too (ie. less pigment to absorb light).

Sometimes it is just preference.

Finally, uncorrected astigmatism/Myopia can lead to more light sensitivity just due to the fact that the light is more diffuse when it hits the retina.
