Using color in presentations
When used consistently, color in your presentations will help your audience
remember key points. For example, graphics that represent your product
should always appear in the same color. If you represent data graphically, be
sure to put the most important data in red or the brightest, warmest color in
your selected palette. Put the data you do not want to emphasize in
cool colors.

background color, followed by black, gray, brown, red, green,
and purple.

deep blue background is very effective.
