I am putting up a proposal about using colors in vanilla the help patches for discussion. I think these patches should

• Emphasize and encourage users to use the color features of GUI elements by showing that in their respective help patches.
• Use colors in vanilla help patches to highlight essential objects and actions, for example to indicate the one single bang button I need to press to start an example therein.
• Stick to the non-color versions otherwise when no highlighting is necessary, as for example the toggles for loudspeaker channels in testtone.pd

and please get rid of blue labels. e.g. the sliders-help.pd has a prominent blue "Sliders" label i nthe center of the patch.

now blue is a significant color in Pd patches: it shows which thingies are selected. so i always try to deselect the text when i have the sliders-patch open.
