Working with color
Whether you are producing color graphs, charts, transparencies for presentations,
posters, signage, or design comps, there are a few things to keep in mind when
using color.
■A large area of color looks more saturated (brighter) than a small area of
the same color.
■A color looks brighter against a dark background than it does against a
white background.
■Colors look different due to the background color or to the surrounding
colors.
■The appearance of a color varies with the type and amount of light, for
example fluorescent lighting versus sunlight.
