About colors
by Kumi AkiyoshiWe are excited to see that the color palette for UX Intensive is posted in Colour Lovers !
Colors are a part of everyday life. I use expressions that are associated with colors – I feel blue, I feel pink, it’s in red, etc…
Selecting colors can be tricky since colors can evoke a variety of emotional associations in people.
Here are some of the strategies for creating color palettes for brand ID systems:
- Align with brand strategy
- Make it distinctive to differentiate
- Make it sustainable
- Make it appropriate for the business
- Make it positive and delightful (or negative and depressing if appropriate)
- Make it memorable
- Make sure that it works across variety of media
What are your strategies for selecting the colors?
