Conclusion It is vital to use key colors and design

methods to display information. Even top notch presentations will loose their effectiveness without suitable color combinations. Practicing color theories and harmonies assists in generating successful presentations and Web pages. The power of color relationships can predict the outcome and impact on an audience.
