Abstract

The paper explains how to use color as an effective tool to improve communication, especially in technical and business documents. The paper presents a collection of practical recommendations for color selection, semantic references, and pragmatic issues. The text also discusses a process for achieving effective use of color. Researchers and developers can use these recommendations in typical document design projects and can incorporate them into development strategies for hardware and software.
