The science of color psychology is a real thing. Don’t believe it? Just look around. Whether it’s a person, an automobile, a house, you name it — colors create impressions and conceptions, positive or negative.

And the beauty of colors is that they don’t waste a lot of time impressing us. A study by the Institute of Color Research found that we’ll pass judgment on humans, products, brands and more within 90 seconds of our first interaction — and that 90% of this assessment is based solely on color.

So how can you manipulate the psychology of color into your brand’s success? To begin, you need to understand the various emotions that colors evoke, and how those emotions bind organically with your brand to attract, affect and motivate your target audiences.
