Ever wonder why certain brands ALWAYS seem to catch your eye? It’s not just the logo or the catchy tagline — it’s the colors they use! Color psychology plays a BIG role in how customers perceive your brand. For example, blue is a firm favorite with tech companies and healthcare providers because of its associations with trust and professionalism. While in contrast (literally!), red is the go-to choice for brands that want to create a sense of passion or urgency. But remember, when it comes to color, balance is key. Too much of any color can be overwhelming — so use it strategically. Is it time to rethink your brand’s color palette? 🌈 #ColorPsychology #BrandStrategy #WebDesignChesterCounty

This is a must read for anyone thinking about undertaking a brand redesign or starting from scratch. It is important to separate your personal preferences from your company's brand strategy. You might gravitate towards strong bold hues, but your brand may warrant softer tones and subtle gradations, to allow the mission, imagery, illustrations to shine! "Both designers and clients have a tendency to overcomplicate and extend their brand’s palette past a primary set of colors to a secondary and tertiary set of palettes. Most of the time these selected colors have very little application throughout the brand. A focused selection of 2-4 primary colors can forge a strong and recognizable brand identity, avoiding the confusion of an overly complex color scheme."
