Color is a powerful tool in branding that can transform a logo and influence consumer perceptions and purchasing decisions. Studies show that color is the first thing consumers notice about a logo and can impact up to 80% of purchasing decisions. The most commonly used brand colors are blue, red, and black, which are featured in 95% of major brands' logos using only 1-2 colors. Each color elicits different emotional responses - for example, blue conveys trust while red represents passion. Proper use of color in branding can increase brand recognition by 80% and influence how consumers view a company's personality, quality, and success.
