This study investigates color use in air traffic control (ATC) facilities to understand the ways color is being used, the associated benefits, and its influence on task performance. It was found that, while color use has some advantages for information processing, such as reducing workload and saving time, it also has disadvantages and may introduce negative effects in task performance. The benefits of color use were identified, and rationales were...

Although controllers use several different displays simultaneously (designed and manufactured by different companies), the Federal Aviation...
