For ease of visual reading, the color of essential text should have sufficient contrast against the background color. If you choose to add color using the Rich Content Editor (RCE) in CarmenCanvas, use the WebAIM Color Contrast Checker to ensure adequate color contrast and accessibility-friendly colors. 

Here are some additional considerations: 

• Do not use color alone to denote meaning

• For links, keep the default styling (i.e., color and underline); if you must change the color of links, be consistent
