Color is useful before it is decorative. A simple visual code can make it faster to put things away and easier to notice when something is missing.
Try these simple shifts
- Assign one color to each person or purpose.
- Use the brightest color for the most urgent category.
- Keep the system to four colors or fewer.
- Repeat the same meaning across clips, pouches and labels.
- Choose colors that remain distinguishable in low light.
Keep the system light
A color system only works if you remember it without a legend. Keep it obvious, consistent and easy for everyone sharing the space.
Small changes work best when they fit the life you already have. Start with one idea, notice what improves and adjust from there.
