Consider the following when you incorporate color into the user interface:

  • Use color to highlight important information.
  • Use contrast to improve readability.
  • Because a color can appear differently on different device displays, do not use color to convey the meaning of critical features.
  • Keep in mind that the appearance of the user interface degrades on a device display with low color depth.
