The color may help draw the learner's attention to the page and enhance ability to focus.Studying only at the time of day that you are most alert and rested and always sitting at a desk to read or study are useful but do not directly address the inability to focus.Use of a tape recorder to play and replay lectures would be most useful to an individual with an auditory learning style preference and does not address the inability to focus.
