The psychology behind colour choices

Fancy a share?

Colour psychology has been a big part of business branding for many years and numerous studies have been undertaken to look at the way in which colour affects people’s buying habits as well as the impact that it can have on the mental and physical processes. Although colour therapy is a science that is ever expanding and there is no doubt that colour can affect our mood, there is still much work to be done in this area.
