What color should a seller use to give the impression that they are trustworthy?
What color gets a prospect to order?
What color makes a product seem like a bargain?
What other uses of color can you think of?

The all-time fave: blue!

Red gets attention. Green is calming and trustworthy (it got Jimmy Carter elected!) Navy blue is rock-steady (good for insurance and investments). Orange is great for ... um ... uh ... something, probably.

Don't forget that certain colors are more suited (or NOT!) for certain industries, too. For example, red isn't that great a color for anyone in the financial industry because of negative connotations ("in the red" and "red ink").

Guerrilla Marketing Online has a great article & color chart that I bookmarked:

I'm a professional graphic designer, and the best advice I can give you is to go to the bookstore to the graphic design section and find a few books on color theory.

They've done extensive research on colors and the moods they create.

Someone said red....red is not a good color for this. Its used to show speed...fast...violence.


Example? look at the fast food chains.....they ALL contain red. Theres a specific reason why.
