Colour has a formidable influence on people\u2019s behaviour and the decisions that they make. Brands that utilise this fact in the way they present themselves and their products or services are more likely to see engagement and response from their target customers. Marketers and designers have been leveraging the use of specific colours in branding to evoke specific emotional and mental responses for years now. Research has revealed that colour has often been the sole reason someone purchases a product or service, where 93% of buyers focus on visual appearance and almost 85% claim colour is their primary reason for the purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n

Visual branding efforts like creating a logo for your brand, designing marketing collateral that will be shared with potential customers, and even product design needs to have time and effort invested in employing the benefits of colour psychology.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yellow has one of the longest wavelengths and this makes it a very psychologically compelling colour. It is hard to miss and lures attention. Too much yellow can cause anxiety and it can overwhelm a person; so, one has to find the right balance when using it in their branding efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n
