Care to Share your Highlighting Standards

As I try to put some time into purposeful highlighting and creating some specific highlighting plan I thought I'd pose the question to the community for input.

What highlighting plan have you come up with?

I'm thinking they could be broken down into "categories" (or palettes I guess).

I'm sure there are some very in depth palettes for different types of study.

I was mostly thinking of what do you use when you are just reading and come across something you think is a poignant bible verse or something in a resource that speaks to you and you'd like to remember or reference some other time.  What about on Sunday morning and notes you want to take about a verse, etc?

    This is a quick bump to give the post more visibility. 15

    The standard I use is simple.....

    light green is about Law in the Old Testament.

    Dark green is about the church

    purple is about false doctrine 

    light blue is about last things

    gold is about Godhead... God, Jesus, Holy Spirit

    pink is about denominations

    red is about man

    These came from Al Pickering's book on "Sharpening the Sword".   I have used this for about 40 years now.    I am in the process of going through my Logos books and Bibles. And I'm tired already!!  lol

    xn = Christan man=man -- Acts 11:26 "....and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch".
