Have you ever wondered why Americans traditionally wear black to funerals and brides wear white to weddings? It’s all linked to color psychology. Each color has a meaning, an emotional/ psychological effect, and sometimes a physical effect.
Those effects vary greatly based on each person’s experience and culture. One example, in Western culture white, symbolizes purity, and in some Eastern cultures, white represents mourning.
Why should you care?
Color psychology plays a vital role in branding and the message your brand portrays. If you’re a Western company launching in Japan, using white in a branding message to represent purity might be a problem. The message is that you didn’t do your homework and are as tone-deaf as this 
For instance, do you want someone to feel a sense of urgency when applying for a credit card? Red may be a good option. Similarly, do you want someone to feel calm when signing up for therapy services? Blue is proven to be relaxing and portrays trustworthiness. And finally, an edgy fashion brand? Black is the way to go.
Color psychology applies to logos, marketing collateral, social media content, campaigns, and anything delivered to consumers. I wouldn’t want a local funeral home to send me a bright yellow and orange postcard, prompting me to plan my inevitable funeral.
