I get asked a lot what my color coding system is. The truth is that it depends on the Bible. In my NIV Notetaker’s Bible, I highlight everything according to the Women Living Well Bible coloring system. In my NIV Journal the Word Bible, I am trying out the SoulScripts method. BUT… In my current go-to Bible, The New Inductive Study Bible, I created my own method for highlighting that I am sharing here.
Here are 2 printable versions of my Bible coloring method. One is full page size and one is little like the one pictured. I cut it out and colored the colors with the Sharpie Liquid Highlighters I love.
Here’s the system if you just want to copy and paste it or write it down. I keep it in the notes on my phone too!
My color coding system using the Sharpie liquid highlighters:
Green—God, Jesus, Holy Spirit
Pink—prayer, blessings, women in the Bible
Orange-Pink—application, instructions
Light Blue—wisdom
Dark Blue—men of the Bible
Purple—key transitions such as “therefore”
Red—don’t do that
Yellow—question, makes me go, “hmm?”
Orange—noteworthy outside of other categories
