Instead of color, edit the image with a small circle around the appropriate
LED and superimpose an arrow pointing to it. The problem with color is:
- when/if the document is photocopied, you loose the color.
- it restricts you to a color printer, hence repro costs are much higher and
slower
- If color blind, might the color not be noticed?
