For example:
A job offer letter to a prospective employee works best in black
and white, while a list of safety rules benefits from attention-
getting color.
Decide WHERE color will most benefit your document
If you use color on every page or all over a page, you may lose
not only the impact of color, but also the clarity and readability
of your work. When used consistently and strategically, color
breaks up the monotony of black-and-white text reading.
Note:
❏ Avoid placing too many color pictures, tables, or icons on a page.
❏ Size your color images so that they do not overpower text or
graphics.
❏ Avoid using too much colored text. It is more difficult to read than
black-on-white or white-on-black text.
Know WHY you are using color
Color adds interest and clarity, and makes documents appear
easier to understand. Just as you use fonts and graphics to create
appeal and capture attention, color provides an additional visual
interpretation of a document that influences the reader.
For example:
An overhead presentation of sales results by territory is far more
interesting and memorable if you show the figures with colored
charts and graphs.
Know HOW to select colors
Determine a rule for using color throughout the document.
Follow the rules below to make your color document more
appealing and effective.
