Color psychology is something that interests me but I never seem to get around to studying it. Whenever I create a new web site, in the back of my head, I am thinking: “What color would be the best to convey the message I want to get across?” But again, I get busy and don’t get to it.
I found an interesting article that gives an quick and easy-to-read breakdown of colors and how they affect us.
Check it out: Color Psychology
If you think about it, most of the descriptions are pretty obvious. But it’s a good reminder as to how colors in our art can be perceived too.
I particularly like the last part about blue not being appetizing and the idea of dyeing food blue to make one lose their appetite.
What do you think? Do you use color psychology in your work?
