White is traditionally used with other colours such as black. It can portray purity, cleanliness & lightness, but avoid it in Japan & China as Eastern cultures believe it conveys death.
That might all seem a lot to digest but it goes to show colour isn’t just about personal preference. Your choices will ultimately be influenced by your companies’ aims, goals & the image you want to portray.
A few things to remember…<
Today, I took my wife to lunch. That in itself is hardly any news at all. However, what should have been a lovely celebration of something personal turned out to be pretty lousy. Here's what happened...We went to a local marina where there is a selection of restaurants. We strolled along the marina just to have a look at what was on offer. The first restaurant we walked into was about one-third full. I stood a
Certain colours are naturally associated with particular industries. Green for “green” companies or environmentally friendly associations, Blue is used for water companies or legal/financial businesses, and I guarantee Purple makes you think of chocolate! But what about the rest of them………
Red say’s powerful, passion, love, heat & strength. Virgin, Vodafone and Coca Cola all rely on Red to stand out. It’s easy to remember these companies as soon as you see red.
Yellow is bright & optimistic and can suggest sunshine & warmth. The golden arches of McDonalds are recognised the world over as a welcoming place, but be careful, it can also represent cowardice!
Blue,,the colour of safety, truth & dignity. Many financial associations such as Barclays us the positive hues of blue to communicate a safe and secure place to place your money!
Green is the colour growth & nature, and has been used by environmental agencies & charities alike. Oxfam, BP and Holland & Barrett all use the positive colour in their branding.
Purple conveys wealth, intelligence & sophistication, which is why Cadbury chose it for it’s velvety yummy chocolate! It does have some spiritual associations too, the Catholic faith relate it to mourning.
Brown can mean trust, but is also seen as old fashioned and frumpy in some people’s eyes. Fashion & Interior trends have seen Chocolate Brown becoming increasingly popular. It’s especially used in coffee bars to simulate a relaxed atmosphere.
Orange is warm and autumnal, think pumpkins and walks in the forest. It’s reliable and safe, so it’s not surprising that Sainsburys, EasyJet and of course Orange have all used it to excellent effect.
Black is for strength, but also globally associated with death and mourning. Organisations can use it to indicate seriousness.

A few things to remember… One Easy Method to Help Reduce Your Attendees' Stress Level and Improve Event Satisfaction
Event planning can be a stressful exercise. When you've got an entire conference hall full hungry attendees, waiting on caterers who are running late, while you've been on your feet since five in the morning to make sure the coffee was hot and your speakers had everything they needed. To top it off, the rumor in the hallways is that your pre-lunch speaker was boring and uninformative, how will you deal with both th

Approach any person in the street and ask them to describe home loans for people in a bad credit or bankruptcy situation. I can say with almost full certainty that the majority of these people you speak to will say that a bad credit mortgage will incur huge interest rates that will render them impossible to pay off. That’s because this has been the main message churned out by the media, and the big players in the w

Yes, you can sell your business yourself, but you have to do it the right way! As a professional business intermediary, I have many clients with quality businesses who come to me after failing to sell their businesses on their own. The flaw in their effort to sell always comes down to the same four basic things: no professional presentation of the business; poorly presented financial information; pricing the business

A few things to remember…
1. Use Company colours to tie all your marketing material together.
2. Use colour for impact and emphasis but not too much at once.
3. Use tints and shades for variety and stick to colours from within one colour scheme as much as possible.
4. BE CONSISTENT! This is extremely important when using colour. If all your titles in a page are green, then that should be repeated throughout the whole document. Stick to the exact colour chosen by your designer too. If your logo is blue, find out the CMYK value and use the same blue all the time.
5. Have fun with colour! Take the meanings of colour into consideration, but remember it’s good to stand out from the crowd too. I mean, there’s nothing cowardly about Rubber Cheese is there!
