HOW CAN COLOR HELP
(last update Wed, Feb 25, 2004)
There are studies that show that it is easier to learn new information if it is presented using color. This is especially true for visual learners, which most men are.
Use a highlighter pen to highlight important information in your textbook, and it will be easier to learn it.
  • You may want to use the colors that already have associations for your particular technical field, for exa mple:
    • Blue for water in RAC
    • Red for danger in many fields
    • Green for environmental concerns
    • Yellow for caution
    • the assigned colors for the different resistors

Another way to approach this is to assign meanings to certain colors, and always use those colors for that information, for example:

  • Blue for all vocabulary words
  • Red for all equipment
  • Green for all processes
  • Yellow for all symptoms, etc.,.
