It is a known fact that you have less than four seconds to catch your
audience’s attention and the quickest form of non-verbal communication is
color.
Color is an integral part of
our day-to-day survival.
Red stop
signs, yellow
yield signs, a
green
traffic light, a
white police car, a
red fire
engine, and a yellow school bus are objects that we must identify quickly and
the way to do it is through color.
Web designers, graphic artists, desktop publishers, advertisers, and
multimedia specialists who understand the psychology of color and know how to
use it are at the top of their craft.
In marketing, the proper use of color psychology is important in the
following areas:
1.
Graphic images and brand names
2.
Packaging of products
3.
Product displays
4.
Advertising: web sites, print ads, billboards and videos
5.

6.
The product itself
One must understand the psychology of color before designing web sites,
PowerPoint presentations, brochures, flyers, videos and displays.
Also, an understanding of the cultural significance of color is important in a
global economy. So come on in and welcome to the world of color!
