Psychology of Colors in Packaging

The selection of product packaging colors will always set your business apart from others. It takes a lot of brainstorming to zero down on colors that will best suit your assigned package. Product, brand logo, brand message, target audience, the image you are projecting or setting out to achieve as a brand are all factors that you should ideally be considering before finalizing your product packaging color scheme.

 

Colour is evocative; it has the power to trigger feelings… whether negative or positive. You can obviously not use black color for a female cosmetic brand.

Let’s dig in deep into psychology of colors in packaging:
