3. The Psychology of Color

   • Color is all around us. Whether we realize it or not, it plays a big role in our everyday lives.
   • Color Symbolism
     • Red: This color can communicate many different ideas depending on its context.
     • Orange: Also a fiery color, orange combines the warmth of red with the cheerfulness of yellow for a hue that communicates activity, energy, and optimism.
     • Yellow: As the color of sunshine, yellow often communicates happiness, cheerfulness, friendliness, and the freshness of spring.
     • Green: This is the color of nature, plant life, and growth. As such, it often communicates health, freshness, or an “all-natural” quality.
     • Blue: The color of the sea and sky, blue often communicates peaceful, clean qualities.
     • Purple/Violet: Purple is traditionally associated with royalty, majesty, or honor.
     • Black: Like red, black has many (sometimes opposing) meanings.
     • White: As the color of light and snow, white often represents purity, innocence, goodness, or perfection
