1. Highlight the key points: rational use of black, white and gray
When making Excel tables, setting too many colors and over-distinguishing will make the chart look cluttered, and the reading focus will not be found.
In fact, the easiest and most practical way is to use black, white and gray to divide.
Black: Bold setting for row headings
White: as the background color for spaced lines
Gray: as the background color for spaced lines
Simplest settings make the most effective distinctions
2. The same color system: use gradient color to distinguish
Using too-escaping colors will make the entire table look uncoordinated, but it would be much better to use colors of the same color family.
Dark and light colors highlight important information and secondary information, respectively, thereby dividing the area.
I personally like this form very much. The overall color is blue, with red, yellow and green as embellishments. The whole looks clean and not dull. In the upper part, the use of colors of the same color system is very coordinated, making a natural distinction between different charts.
It should be noted that in Excel, the use of color is by no means purely for aesthetics, but for content, and should be oriented to enhance readability, especially when entering personnel information, it is best to color each line. To prevent misunderstanding of information.
3. Reasonable distinction: learn to use dark background
This little trick is very simple to operate, just put each table on a dark background, and then set the border of each table to the same color.
After this operation, the plate division is natural, the overall collocation is also very coordinated, and the deep bottom can make the table content more prominent.
In many cases, the light-colored forms are a bit more aesthetically fatigued, and occasionally changing to a dark background feels more comfortable to look at. And research shows that colors with high contrast between text and background are more legible.
4. Pay attention to white space: use blank lines skillfully
When there is a lot of complex data, white space is the most concise distinction, especially when the table itself is colored.
Reasonable use of white space, and appropriate blank lines, the content will be distinguished naturally, and each item and corresponding content look very clear and clear at a glance.
5. Lightning Protection Guide: Beware of Using Bright Colors
When there is content on the table that needs to be highlighted, if it is part of the content, you can use highlighting. But if it is a large piece of content that needs to be highlighted, remember not to use too bright colors to highlight it, it is really easy to get dirty!
This color is easy to get attention, but it is really awkward and uncomfortable to the human eye.
When filling the color scheme, choose a color that is not so bright as possible, it will look softer and more comfortable
