Keep a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 so things are easy to read. Grayscale colors can help remove distractions and make your dashboard look neat. Labels should be simple and clear so everyone knows what each chart shows.

Minimize Visual Clutter

A simple layout makes your dashboard easier to use. Put information under clear headers and group things logically. Show summaries first, then details if needed. Remove extra charts and focus on the most important numbers. This helps you see useful insights faster.
