Summary

A color-usage slide demonstrating approved background, figure and accent combinations across three side-by-side vertical panels, each rendering the same "USOS DEL COLOR" headline under a different color rule.

Visual description

Three full-height vertical panels sit edge to edge: a warm off-white beige panel, a black panel, and a bright green panel. Each panel shows the phrase "USOS DEL COLOR" set large in a black ultra-condensed all-caps display face, broken across lines as "USOS DEL / COLOR", anchored to the lower portion. The word "DEL" in each is rendered as an outline accent in a different color (orange-red on beige, blue on black, white on green) while the main figure changes per panel. Above each headline a small three-line spec note states the rule: "Fondo: beige / Figura: negra / Acento: 1 color"; "Fondo: negro / Figura: blanca / Acento: 1 color"; "Fondo: 1 color / Figura: negra / Acento: beige". A rotated "COLOR Usos" running label and page number "34" sit in the far left margin on a hairline rule.

Key takeaway

Teaching figure-ground and accent rules by showing the exact same headline three ways, so the only variable a reader sees is the color logic. Using one outlined word ("DEL") as the accent slot is a neat way to demonstrate where a single highlight color goes without adding any extra element. The tiny Fondo / Figura / Acento caption over each variant makes the rule explicit.

Reuse notes

A clean pattern for the "approved combinations" or do-and-do page of a color system, and reusable any time you need to show one composition under several palette rules side by side. The three-panel split scales to more or fewer combinations. Keep the demonstrated string identical across panels so the comparison stays about color, not layout.
