What Every Marketer Should Know About Color Theory

What Every Marketer Should Know About Color Theory | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Color theory is the art and science of colors, our understanding of how colors mix, how people perceive colors, and the message the colors communicate. Are you aware that colors impact how one thinks and behaves? In fact, color ads attract 42 percent more attention than those in black and white. This holds true even outside the realm of social media and into print marketing. Prospects hold on to colored business cards 10 times longer than standard white cards.

But although we are so familiar with colors, there is a large spectrum of uncertainty when it comes to using color for art and design.


When we talk about web or graphic design, color might be the single most important choice. The right color decision is the foundation for a beautiful, engaging and seamless design. However, the wrong color choice can destroy a design, even if everything else is there.


Let’s look at an example. The image below features the exact same infographic – the same content, the same hierarchy, the same positioning of elements....
