Be mindful of your colors

Colors make an impact

Do not mix red/pink and green, as the most common color blindness will be impacted. Yes--even if they are heavily contrasting shades. Imagine reading blue text with a blue background--it is a similar concept.

• Ensure sufficient contrast between background and text.

• Avoid photo backgrounds where possible.

• Backgrounds should be one color.
