A color code filing system is essential to a good central file room. Color coding helps users retrieve and file records by color indexing each record. This color index guides users to files and also helps potential misfiles stand out as they break a rhythm of color.

Color coding systems are usually configured for alphabetical or numeric filing systems in smaller offices and then in terminal digit filing systems in file rooms with more than 10,000 records. A good color coding system not only will help eliminate misfiles but also help prevent possible backshifting of records that occurs in file cabinet systems as filing systems grow in size.
