Color
is considered one of the most useful and powerful design tools you have. People
respond to different colors in different ways. Colors tell someone if you are friendly.
In the same way they affect whether someone will continue clicking through your
website. Colors determine if someone will start reading your article in a magazine
or post on your website.
Colors
also help to keep people involved on your website and determine how long they stay.
Of course that's not just about the content. Colors also influence how people will
respond and behave.
The
next time you go into a fast-food restaurant, look closely at the colors. Do they
decorate with vivid reds and oranges because they encourage diners to eat and leave
quickly like many of the fast-food establishments(企业)?That is exactly the response
they want.
Different
cultures have different attitudes and preferences; thus, they will have another
color reaction. In China, "white" stands for death and in Brazil, it is
the color purple while in America it is black. People from warm countries respond
favorably to warm colors; people from colder climates prefer cooler colors. In America,
green is associated with jealousy or money. Blue (the most popular) is associated
with trust, responsibility, belonging and coolness.
This
also means that color affects shopping habits. Different colors attract different
kinds of customers. Red, orange, black and royal blue attract impulse(冲动的)buyers. Pink, light blue
and navy attract smart budget shoppers. There is really a lot into it. To experience
this, why not click on the following large companies' websites that have spent the
funds on this type of research now?
