White vs. Yellow
Which is more intuitive? White for articles (informational articles, how-to’s, ideas and tips, blog posts) and yellow for instructions (manuals, FAQ, technical information), or yellow for articles and white for instructions?
I lean more toward the former than the latter, but what do you think?
Thanks!

I agree: Yellow for instructions. It’s what I always use for desktop tooltips, because of the cognitive association with Post-Its.
Thanks for your input! I hadn’t thought of Post-It Notes.
Yellow for instructions. If the toy companies would print their toy assembly instructions on yellow paper, I think I’d have an easier Christmas holiday.
If assembly instructions were printed in proper English, we’d all have an easier Christmas holiday!
Perhaps the worst ones are the ones that just show pictures. Hopefully, they’re numbered, but too often the line drawings don’t closely enough resemble the bits and pieces scattered all over the floor. I had to assemble a kid’s toy about a month ago, and it took a lot of flipping and rotating the pictograms and the actual objects to figure out what was what. The box didn’t even have a color photograph (or B&W photograph) of what the finished toy was supposed to look like!
