Overview

• Colours influence our emotions, reactions and impressions. Each colour stimulates the brain in its own way and has a particular effect on consumers. Colour psychology is the study that deals with colours and their impact on human behaviour. We are all subconsciously influenced by colours when buying different products.

   

  Colour psychology showed that colour could influence human behaviour, affect our perception and enhance effectiveness. 90% of a customer's product judgement is based on the product’s colour.  A study has shown that purchasing intent of customers is greatly affected by the brand colour because the colour speaks for the brand's identity and personality. Some other studies have shown that the human brain prefers recognisable brands, making the brand colour all the more critical. Hence, colour is so important in marketing.
