Color Emotion Guide
Color plays a big role in the branding of your product, sales letter or service. Choose a color that has the emotional qualities you want to elicit in your prospect. If you can, try to "own" a color in your niche, like the light blue box of Tiffany's, or pink at Mary Kay Cosmetics.
Each color creates strong perceptions and emotions. Gold and silver are associated with luxury, for example. People respond automatically to certain colors. Red means passion, love and excitement. It also stimulates appetite. That is why McDonald's, Wendy's, KFC and Chipotle have red in their logo. Blue actually curbs appetite, and some people even use blue plates when they are trying to lose weight!
