Everybody knows that Coca
Cola is red and Starbucks is green. Most of us can name companies and their own
brand colors. What we may not know about is the science behind these companies'
choices of these colors. Color psychology is the study of how colors affect
people's feelings, actions, and decision-making. Companies use color psychology
when they develop their brands and advertisements in order to encourage us to
buy. In fact studies have shown that around 90 percent of people spend money
depending on color and appearance. Because of this, companies use colors to
influence how we feel about their products. For example, it's no accident that
many tech products use white; it's simple and clean. At the same time,
cosmetics companies prefer colors like purple, black, or pink that mean love,
comfort, and romance.
Companies often choose
active colors that make you buy right now. Red, for example, is a high-energy,
exciting color that moves people to take action. Yellow is the color of summer,
and it's bright and remarkable. In fact, most big companies have something to
do with certain specific colors. Studies show that customers prefer brands that
they know. Then those with a proper color plan, such as LEGO or Facebook are
likely to perform more strongly on the market. Research has also shown that men
and women like different colors. Men prefer blue, green, and black while women
prefer like purple and pink.
