Abstract
In computer graphics, judicious use of colors helps to get the
message across. Using several tasks that engage the user in different
ways as examples, this tutorial outlines principles for using color
effectively in computer graphics. These principles offer a starting
point for color choices in the context of user-centered designs. The
tutorial provides color selection guidelines based on biological,
psychological and technological considerations. Each section ends with a
few general guidelines for color selection, summarizing the main points
discussed. Prototyping and usability assessment will help you refine and
verify your own color choices for each application
