C olor in index tabbing is an inexpensive way to distinguish the various sections of the manual or catalog. In most cases, colored tabbing is more economical than multicolored printing or multicolored paper.
Color attracts and holds the attention of the index user better than black and white.
Index users will recognize functional colored tabbing as the sign of a carefully-planned presentation that deserves careful attention. In planning color tabbing, remember to tie the color of the tab in with the section to which it applies. The standard ink for tab titles is black, and this color is always used with colored film laminate tabs. However, other colors may also be used effectively with clear film laminate or on uncoated tabs, and we can match most any color when a color sample is supplied. Also, as indicated by the tab on this sheet, tabs may also be printed in reverse with the tab being the color you choose and the tab copy being reversed out.
