Avoid colors that trigger spam.

An email with a red or green font has a high chance of landing in the spam folder. Similarly, white text written over an image or light-colored background can also land your email in spam.

So try avoiding these practices to ensure that your email lands directly in your recipient’s inbox and your hard work doesn’t go to waste.

If you use bright font colors in your emails and want to try to improve your inboxing rates, you may want to consider enabling this option under your settings. Campaign Cleaner will then adjust bright font colors, whether they are in HEX, RBG or defined with color names such as Red or Green, by slightly toning them down to create a more subdued, yet very similar color. This may help prevent triggering some spam filters that may flag bright colors as spammy, while still maintaining the visual appeal of the original color.
