Psychology of color for your brand
Recently, I shared a few resources on creating unique color palettes for your branding. But how do you choose which colors you want to incorporate for your personal brand? Each color is tied with an emotional + psychological response, so it is crucial to understand the meaning behind each color, before you commit it to your brand. For instance, you might want to avoid the color blue for your restaurant, as it is known to be tranquil + peaceful, rather than stimulating your appetite. Take a look at the colors below to discover which ones align with your brand vision.

I found what you had to say regarding the colors that represent our website very informative. It is very important to me that my customers feel comfortable coming into my website. I want them to feel at home. The colors that I came up with are Blue, Yellow, and Orange. My current colors are green blue, and purple. Can you tell me if you think the 3 new colors I chose would be more appropriate for my site. Thank you again, Starla
