Unpacking the Power of Colour: How Design Drives Consumer Behavior

Written by AlphaPoly

As the fall colours change, let’s talk about another palette that’s key to your brand—your packaging colours. At AlphaPoly, we know that colour is a strategic tool that impacts how customers feel, think, and ultimately, how they purchase.

Why Colours Speak Louder Than Words

Whether it’s the bright yellow that grabs attention in seconds or the cool blue that evokes trust, colours have a profound effect on consumer behaviour. 85% of shoppers say colour is a primary reason why they choose a product. When it comes to packaging, this psychological influence makes all the difference on the shelf.

Using Colour Psychology in Packaging

Here’s a snapshot of how colours can steer consumer emotions and decisions:

  • Red: Excitement, energy, and action. A perfect choice for products aimed at sparking emotion or urgency.
  • Blue: Calmness and trustworthiness. It’s ideal for brands that want to convey reliability and professionalism.
  • Green: Health, nature, and sustainability. The obvious pick for eco-conscious brands and natural products.
  • Yellow: Optimism and warmth. Great for drawing attention and creating a sense of happiness.
  • Black: Luxury, sophistication, and power. Ideal for high-end products that aim to deliver a premium feel.
