Color

It is important to understand that audience members may experience color blindness and/or visual impairment. Color should not be used as a method to separate sections of content and or to convey meaning. The content hierarchy should be established first and in black and white without color.


Color Tips 

  • Don’t use color as the only way to communicate information.
  • Choose color combinations with high contrast.
