Color Strategy in a Presentation
Use color scheme strategy in your presentation: Use suitable colors depending on the topic. Apply colors in a way that they don’t over shadow the texts so it can be properly seen. Find out about the favorite colors of the audience and apply them. Be aware of the connotations and meanings of colors you want to use.
Applying an intensely bright color for the background must mean something such as highlighting a certain topic; otherwise, don’t use intensely bright colors in your presentation. The color black has its inherent meanings. The color blue means peacefulness, why would you use it? Have you used the color green in a part of your presentation which is about environment? For instance, in a section about charity, use the color orange which is generally associated with cancer.
Therefore, consider the meanings of colors before you apply them. This is because there are already memories in humans’ minds that can be accompanied by these colors. The color used in your presentation reinforces the topic being discussed, hence it is logical to use relevant color to buttress your points. Though, there is a risk they go off course due to a wrong choice.
Using colors is necessary in a general presentation, but when you want to make a presentation for a company or present to a company, use the company’s favorite colors. Some people do it elaborately and make a separate presentation for each company. They put the logo of that company on the first page and consider colors suitable for that company.
Because of that, the company decides from the very first moment if they want to follow you or not. One way to make the other party satisfied with your presentation is to put signs associated with their company. Colors are the best signs (in written presentations). Keep harmony in non-live and written presentations because you are with your presentation. You can add points to slides in live presentations. However, in written presentation, you need to have comprehensible texts to compensate for your absence.
