Colors and the brain: A test in retail therapy and psychology.

Did you realize that color has a powerful impact on your brain?

Color Memory Is Significant: A recent study examined differences in peoples’ recall of words and memory for colors. Results show that people recall color to a higher degree. And when people were asked to recall objects versus color, color memory was significantly greater. Even when people attempted to remember words or objects, color had the greatest affect on recall.

Overall, consumers will use quick brain power to determine whether or not they will make a purchase. The same is true about whether or not a potential customer, a viewer, enters and stays on your website.

“Research shows people make up their minds to buy within 90 seconds of their initial interactions with either people or products. About 62-90 percent of the assessment is based on colors alone,” the branding blog said.
