> Color is a basal quality in human perception. Color can be used for
> communication, it is a very efficient way to direct attention, and
> significance can assigned to an object with color. However, color is a
> historical and cultural phenomenon, and is subject of continuous
> aesthetical changes. Furthermore, it should be taken into consideration
> that a rather high percentage of population has a perception disorder
> ranging from difficulties to discriminate between red and green to complete
> color blindness.

> ==Guidelines==
> * Choose colors by selecting the appropriate theme color or system color.
> * Never use color as a primary method of communication, but as a secondary
> method to reinforce meaning visually. * Make foreground color contrasting
> to background.
> * Consider accessibility for users with color vision deficiency (~5%
> population). ==Implementation==

Just added some implementation details.
