Chapter 3: Using color

Follow these guidelines when using color:

Less is better when using color. Overusing color can 
minimize its impact. 

Be consistent with your color use to make your mes-

Use the brightest color to draw attention to the most 
important point.

When adding color to a business document, use the 
color for meaning and clarification, not decoration. 

Avoid colors that may offend or confuse your audi-

In a pie chart, fill each slice with a solid color. Draw 
attention to the most important slice with the 
brightest color.

When using color on transparencies, use vivid, satu-

attention to major points. 

Select colors that look good together and reinforce 
your message. 

Avoid red and green combinations. These colors are 
hard for people with red/green color blindness to 
distinguish. 

For more information about color, refer to the numerous 
books available in the marketplace and to the documenta-

printed on paper. 

Knowing how color is produced gives you a clearer 
understanding of color and how it works with your color 
printer. For example, light coming from a computer screen
