Color can make your course more engaging, but it’s important to use it thoughtfully. Make sure there’s strong contrast between text and background so everyone can read it easily. Avoid using color alone to convey meaning, like highlighting vocabulary in red without any other cue, and use bold, underline, or icons in addition. This helps ensure all students can access and understand your content.

• Ensure strong contrast between text and background (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text).
• Avoid using color alone to convey meaning.
• Use additional cues like bold, underline, or icons to reinforce information.
