Color psychology
What values or emotions does each color transmit to us? This is an important point when it comes to building our visual message. It should be mentioned that the psychological impact of color is subjective since not everyone reacts in the same way to each of the colors. However, there are certain generalities about the way we perceive the colors and emotions that they transmit to us.
Here are some examples of what these colors convey:
- Blue: Tranquility, peace, security, intelligence and coldness.
- Green: Freshness, enviroment, fertility, money, guilt, and envy.
- Yellow: Joy, sun, happiness, energy, and instability.
- Pink: Sweetness, femininity, health, compassion, and immaturity.
- Red: Love, passion, power, strength, desire, and danger.
- Orange: Success, friendship, trust, courage, and ignorance.
- White: Innocence, purity, cleanliness, ease, emptiness, and isolation.
- Black: Protection, elegance, death, evil, and mystery.
