    This document provides guidance on using effective design and colors in PowerPoint presentations. It recommends that colors have meaning and influence learning. Good design fosters learning. Presentations should stand out by avoiding default colors and using contrasting colors like blue or purple backgrounds with white text, which are easy to read and have positive emotional connotations. While black and white works, adding some color can increase graphic impact. Further study on how color influences people differently and research on color and culture are suggested.
