Information for Chairs and Presenters

Requesting Concerning Use of Color in Presentation Materials

Approximately 5% of Japanese men and 8% Caucasian men have a specific type of vision that makes it difficult to distinguish between colors in a particular range, including red and green. In light of this, you are requested to take the following points into account when preparing presentation materials.

Images of two-color staining or DNA chips should be displayed in green and magenta, not in red and green.
Three or more strains should be displayed not only as composites containing all three colors but also with two most important colors shown alone in green and magenta. (Alternatively, images of each channel can be displayed separately.)
In graphs and explanatory figures, it is extremely difficult to match colors shown in two separate places. For this reason, do not use only color-coded descriptions or legends for different items but also write them directly into figures. Do not differentiate between items by using different colors, but rather with different types of lines, shapes/symbols, or various types of hatching.
On a dark background, please use white, yellow, or orange letters rather than thin, red or blue ones as much as possible.
