Basic Color Use
Avoid reliance on color, font, or other sensory characteristics to convey meaning.
We recommend sticking with basic white backgrounds and black text when possible.
If you want to use colors to make your course more unique we recommend using the UTSA visual style guide with approved and color contrast verified options.
