Use Color to Enhance Understanding!

Color is a great tool for enhancing the content of your site. You can use it for text as long as there is a strong contrast between the text and the background. Even better, use color for subheadings to break up large amounts of text. Be wary of using light or bright colored text since it can be very hard to read.

Color is helpful for giving the viewer an "instant" visual understanding of hierarchy of the content. For example, use one color (or tint/shade) for headings, another for subheadings and a third for text.

Too many colors can confuse the viewer and obscure the content hierarchy on the page. Does color help or hinder the hierarchy of this page?
