User:Paradox460/Human Interface Guidelines

Humans behave in predictable manner, and this behavior can be stimultated through use of color, images, and other such tools.

Getting attention
To get someones attention, you should use colors such as orange, yellow, or red. When using yellow, be sure the color is a darker yellow.

DO NOT EVER USE BLINKING, MOVING, OR SIMILAR TEXT EFFECTS.

Informing
For information that isnt urgent, use soft colors, pale blue or green (like Google uses) to alert the user. The user will see the thing, read it, and know the information, but not feel hurried to act.
