The four main psychological primary colours that relate to the body, mind and emotions are: red, yellow, blue and green.Did you know?

People all over the world from different cultures and backgrounds perceive colour differently, and as a result, the psychology of colour in relation to persuasion is one of the most interesting and debated aspects of marketing! 62-90% of consumer’s assessment of a product or brand is based on colour alone so don’t be shy to make your brand different from competitors!

Every day we are exposed to new products and services through the media but do you ever stop to think just how important colour is!? You can increase brand recognition by up to 80% with the right colour choice and you can use colour to persuade and influence potential buyers. Consider your main business goals and carry out the relevant research to ensure you are making informed decisions. 85% of shoppers place colour as a primary reason to purchase a particular product and you have around 90 seconds to win them over. The first 90 seconds is crucial because this is when consumers make a decision about their purchase.

What is your Brand Personality?

When deciding on your brand personality choose a colour scheme to represent just that! Research suggests that it is far more effective than aligning your colour scheme with stereotypical colour associations. When your chosen colour represents your brand in the right light, your brand becomes more memorable and can be recognised even when your company name is not displayed.
