Color Uses

Back Back to Effective Use of Color

As humans, we appreciate colors. Just think how quickly color televisions replaced black and white screens. We also use colors to identify and differentiate objects. You should use color in your visual aids to:

  1. Help the audience differentiate key elements in your visual aid.
  2. Assist you in emphasizing key elements in your presentation.
