Color Theory: How Does Your Brand Imagery Make Buyers Feel?
Color theory and color psychology play a major role in the multi-billion dollar business marketing industry. Color theory is the art and science of how different colors affect the brain and body. With buyers focusing on visual appearance above all else, it may be helpful for your small business to consider how the colors of your brand imagery might be influencing potential customers and clients. When it comes to your logo, signage, business cards, website, vehicle wraps, social media, packaging, and advertising, consider the associations that people make with specific colors.
