While black bars on a white background are a very good combination, it is possible to print with colours as long as they appear black under red scanning light.

Here are some tips from the GS1 organisation on colour scanning:

• Bars must always be darker than the spaces.
• Cold colours such as green, blue, violet, and black are a good choice.
• Warm colours such as yellow, red, orange, and white are not seen by the scanner.
• Metallic inks and surfaces reflect too much light preventing the scanner to distinguish between bars and spaces.
