Colour psychology is the study of colours in relation to the behaviour of humans. It defines how colour affects day-to-day decision-making such as the products we purchase. However, our perceptions of a product or brand can be somewhat influenced by our associations with colour.
By using colour strategically within your brand, you can strongly influence your customer’s perception of not just your products and price points, but of your service. This is why understanding colour psychology can be critical to increasing sales.
