Whether you’re a fashion brand trying to lure and connect to anaudienceor a political party trying to get votes and strengthen civilians’ trust, or going for a striking outfit – colors plays a visual representative in speaking for us, without us having to say a word.

According to Wikipedia, “the Psychology of colours in Marketing, color is an essential tool because it has an impact on how we think and behave.

In fashion,it brings a simple effectiveness and effervescence that plays an integral role in that it carries with it a psychological meaning to affect mass consciousness.

It is mainly used by brands or organizations that want to convey a passion, leadership, will power and vibrance. A perfect example is the Christian Louboutin’s red soles which has been a timeless fashion.

Moreover, light blue can be relaxing while dark blue can signify strength and reliability.
