Colour Perception and Consumer Behaviour
The document discusses how colour influences consumer behaviour and marketing. It provides examples of how different colours like red, yellow, blue, green, orange, pink, purple, black are perceived and can stimulate certain emotions. It also gives examples of how companies have successfully used colour in their branding and product packaging to influence sales and target certain demographics like Coca Cola switching to black packaging for Coke Zero to target males. Culture can influence colour meanings so marketers must be aware of this. Colour appropriateness is also important for products.

For years I’ve had to rely on pencils, or at worst, a twig and some drops of my feminine blood to write down recipes (the only thing a lady should be writing ever),” one reviewer wrote. “I had despaired of ever being able to write down said recipes in a permanent manner, though my men-folk assured me that I ‘shouldn’t worry yer pretty little head.’ But, AT LAST! Bic, the great liberator, has released a womanly pen that my gentle baby hands can use without fear of unlady-like callouses and bruises. Thank you, Bic!” Ellen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCyw3prIWhc Soft Pastel Colours For Her?
