Does colour matter?
In one word, yes, colour does matter!
Colour is very emotive and can influence our decisions without us even realising. Have you ever noticed how many food outlets have red and yellow running through them? These colours encourage our appetite and stimulate us to make quick decisions…sneaky eh?
All design relies on a combination of elements to bring it to life and colour is one of those important elements. Get it wrong and you could put off potential buyers.
Colour increases brand recognition by 80%.
