The selection of hue for responses embedded within the body of a subsequent electronic message is a design consideration that impacts readability and clarity. For example, when replying to an email and including portions of the original message, a distinct shade can visually separate new commentary from the quoted text.
Employing a deliberate color choice enhances comprehension and reduces the potential for misinterpretation. Historically, various techniques, including indentation and typographical changes, have been used to differentiate between original and response content. Color provides a modern and readily discernible method for achieving this separation.
