are these the right colours for my business brand?
One of the most common questions I’ve been asked during this month of 30 blogs in 30 days is can you tell me if my business brand colours are right?
Naturally as business owners we all want to be attracting our ideal clients not repelling them so it is no surprise this has become a somewhat frequently asked question.
Without doing a full brand analysis which to answer a question like this would require, instead I’m going to set out a several tips you can follow to help you become more aware, and more concious of your colour choices.
(Day 29 into my 30 blogs in 30 days challenge!)
business interiors – how luxury brands use the colour black
Think of black interiors and sleek, ultra-modern, minimalist, dark and mysterious comes to mind. It can work perfectly depending on the mood and atmosphere you want to create. After all it’s all about creating a space that attracts your ideal customers.
business branding colours… meaning of black
When used by a brand whose personality communicates the qualities of black, they can be seen as sophisticated, aspirational and industry leaders. For those brands who fail to up hold this and the negative qualities will be felt. Even more so if a brand isn’t aware of the effects teaming black with another colour has. This can completely change the meaning of a colour and how the brand is seen by its ideal clients.
dispelling the confusion over colour psychology
I often get asked what is colour psychology exactly. There is definitely a lot of confusion out there with colour association and colour symbolism often being mistaken for colour psychology. So I thought I would explain the differences to clear up any confusion.

in the news… colourful Notting Hill Carnival
Each year (since 1966) on the August bank holiday weekend, Notting Hill turns into a sea of colour. Starting life as a local festival by the West Indian community, it has become Europe’s largest street festival.
royal ascot ladies day – a day of flamboyant & colourful hats
Outlandish, balance defying, flamboyant colourful hats … it can only mean Ladies Day at Royal Ascot. It’s the day when the ladies let their imaginations (or their milliner’s) go wild, expressing their personality through colour and creativity! Other than loving all the colour, I’m amazed at how the ladies manage to stay upright, balancing these larger than life creations on their heads.
isle of wight – a colourful festival
This was my third time to the Isle of Wight festival. What makes me return year after year is the laidback, chilled out vibe and superb music (my favourites this year were Foo Fighters and Seasick Steve). And plenty of colour!
