Have you ever opened your Bible, highlighter in hand, and thought: “Wait, what color was I using for promises again?” You’re not alone! Bible highlighting is such a beautiful way to connect with Scripture, but it can get messy if you don’t have a clear system. That’s why a Bible Highlighting Color Code Chart is a total game-changer.
With Canva, you can create your own editable chart—meaning you can adjust the colors, categories, and layout to fit your personal study style. Not only does it make your Bible study time more organized, but it also makes flipping through your Bible a more colorful, meaningful experience.
Why Use a Bible Highlighting System?
Highlighting isn’t just about pretty pages—it’s about intentional study. A system helps you:
Stay consistent with your notes and reflections
Spot themes at a glance (like promises, commands, or prayers)
Engage deeper with God’s Word as you categorize what you’re reading
Make it personal by building a study style that reflects you
It turns your Bible into a living, interactive guide you’ll treasure for years.
Step 1: Decide Your Categories
Before designing your chart, decide what you want to highlight. Common categories include:
Promises of God
Commands
Prayers
Faith & Trust
Sin & Warnings
Wisdom & Instruction
Names/Attributes of God
Pick the themes that matter most to your study routine—you can always add more later!
Step 2: Assign Your Colors
Here’s where the fun begins! Choose a unique color for each category. For example:
Blue = Promises
Yellow = Commands
Pink = Love & Grace
Green = Growth & Wisdom
✨ Pro Tip: Canva makes it super easy to adjust your palette. If you want even more options for beautiful highlight colors and coordinating designs, check out Creative Fabrica for endless patterns, palettes, and digital elements.
Step 3: Design Your Chart in Canva
Search “Bible Highlighting Chart” or simply start with a blank page in Canva. Add:
A header with your chart title
Color swatches or boxes for each category
Labels for clarity (ex: “Faith & Trust – Purple”)
Keep the design simple and clean so it’s easy to reference while you’re reading.
Step 4: Print or Keep Digital
Once your chart is designed, you can:
Print it and keep it tucked into your Bible
Laminate it for durability
Save it digitally on your tablet or phone for quick reference
Either way, you’ll have a clear, colorful guide to keep your Bible study consistent.
