The Rule – Use color sparingly.
For impact, designers choose to create their design on more than a single color. But color thrown around everywhere also loses its impact. The rule of thumb: for maximum impact, use color on headings, and
most important words in headings.
The Rule – Do not use complementary colors.
Colors that can be found opposite each other in
color wheel are called complementary colors. For example, blue is opposite orange in
color wheel. When used side by side,
complementary colors can create havoc in our eyes because it would be difficult to focus on both at
same time. In addition,
colors may seem to vibrate when viewed together.
The Rule – Do not use color screened more than 40% with text.
Anything darker than 40% color against a text can make it harder to read. However, you can vary this rule somewhat by calculating how dark
color will be. For example, green can be screened darker than blue to make
text stand out.
For best results, use a Pantone book for tints to show you different screens for every color. In addition,
Pantone book will help you see what is readable and what is not with both text and reversed text on
screens.
