: Good color to get attention in presentation I am working on an important presentation and and need a color to highlight otherwise black text on white background (beamer presentation). An example

I am working on an important presentation and and need a color to highlight otherwise black text on white background (beamer presentation).

An example is highlighting data in a table with a color for one slide then letting it go back to normal.

I tried green from: en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Colors#The_68_standard_colors_known_to_dvips but it stands out too much. Other colors look better but I am afraid they are not easily visible.

What colors are a good trade off for white background. Gets attention but are not too distracting (and "ugly")?

I'd like to add to DA01's answer that not just any color, but any 'dark' color would fit into a white background nicely.

And, if you ever need a second color or more, there is this "color wheel" concept that guides users on the compatibility of colors when used together. I like this guide here:

As DA01 pointed out black, white and red are the historical model of choice. I prefer a sturdy orange and some nice greys where subtly is needed.
