Editing Incubator escapee wiki:Writing better articles (section)

== Use color sparingly ==
{{see also|Help:Using colors}}
If possible, avoid presenting information with color only within the article's text and in tables.

Color should only be used sparingly, as a secondary visual aid. Computers and browsers vary, and you cannot know how much color, if any, is visible on the recipient's machine. Wikipedia is international: colors have different meaning in different cultures. Too many colors on one page look cluttered and unencyclopedic. Specifically, use the color red only for alerts and warnings.

Awareness of color should be allowed for low-vision viewers: poor lighting, color blindness, [[screen reader]] software, dark or overbright screens, monochrome screens, and the wrong contrast/color settings on the display screen.
