General Color Tips
60-30-10 Rule
Use your primary color 60% of the time, secondary 30%, and accent 10% for visual balance.
WCAG AA Minimum
Ensure text has at least 4.5:1 contrast ratio against backgrounds. All schemes in this catalog meet WCAG AA.
Industry Context Matters
Match color psychology to audience expectations. Blue works for finance, green works for health, and purple works for technology.
Test on Projectors
Colors shift on projectors. Test dark backgrounds in the actual presentation environment before presenting.
