Color Psychology is BULLSHIT ❌

Alright alright alright…

I know this might be a view that some may not agree with 🤨

With that being said, let me make some points here.

Color is subjective.

Everyone has a feeling associated to color.

For me, red is a comforting color, why? Because when I was a youngster (maybe 5 or 6) I had these red pants (I know, what was I thinking)

These red pants, I wore EVERYWHERE, they were «my safety blanket» 😁

Color is relative & cultural.

When it comes to choosing a color palette for my branding projects, I take these into consideration I think the MAIN point you should start with is COMPETITORS. Period.

There’s other factors like target audience, gender, and geographical location.
