How Color Temperature Shapes Brand Perception
Color psychology broadly splits colors into warm tones and cool tones. Warm tones like red, orange, and yellow convey energy, passion, and friendliness, and are frequently used by food, event, and social brands. Cool tones like blue, green, and purple convey trust, professionalism, and calm, making them popular in finance, healthcare, and B2B services.
