The Meaning of Colors Disciplines > Communication > The Meaning of Colors Meanings of color | Use in retail and business | Gender effects | Cultural effects | So what? Meanings of color Here is a table of colors and many of the meanings they tend to evoke, particularly in Western cultures. Notice how colors can mean very different things - it is not that the colors themselves have meaning, it is that we have culturally assigned meanings to them. For example, red means warmth because of the color of fire. Likewise, it means anger because of the increased redness of the face when it flushes with blood. Purple symbolizes royalty only because the only purple dye that was available for many centuries was very expensive. Color Western meaning RED: warmth, love, anger, danger, boldness, excitement, speed, strength, energy, determination, desire, passion, courage, socialism, republicans, chaos PINK : feminine, love, caring, nurture ORANGE: cheerfulness, low cost, affordability, enthusiasm, stimulation, creativity, aggression, food, halloween, liberal (politics) YELLOW: attention-grabbing, comfort, liveliness, cowardice, hunger, optimism, overwhelm, Summer, comfort, liveliness, intellect, happiness, energy, conflict GREEN: durability, reliability, environmental, luxurious, optimism, healing, well-being, nature, calm, relaxation, Spring, safety, honesty, optimism, harmony, freshness BLUE: peace, professionalism, loyalty, reliability, honor, trust, melancholia, boredom, coldness, Winter, depth, stability, professionalism, conservatism, democrats PURPLE: power, royalty, nobility, elegance, sophistication, artificial, luxury, mystery, royalty, elegance, magic GRAY: conservatism, traditionalism, intelligence, serious, dull, uninteresting BROWN: relaxing, confident, casual, reassuring, nature, earthy, solid, reliable, genuine, Autumn, endurance BLACK: Elegance, sophistication, formality, power, strength, illegality, depression, morbidity, night, death WHITE: Cleanliness, purity, newness, virginity, peace, innocence, simplicity, sterility, snow, ice, cold Also: Temperature The more towards the red end of spectrum you go, the hotter it gets. The more towards the blue/purple end of the spectrum you go, the colder it gets. Weight: Darker and more intense colors seem heavier. Lighter colors seem, unsurprisingly, lighter. Money: Darker colors, such as burgundy red, tend to show opulence (they are often called 'rich' colors). Dull shades, such as gray and dark browns indicate poverty. Seasons: Pastel and light shades are delicate, feminine, springtime. Bright shades of primary colors indicate summer. Earthy shades of brown, yellow and orange speak of nature and the fall. Cool shades of white, black and blue represent winter. Use in retail and business Here are some ways in which colors are used in retail and business: Red: Creates urgency - often used in sales and impulse sales

Navy blue: Cheaper - selling to price-sensitive

Royal blue: Urgency - selling to impulse buyers

Yellow: Grabbing attention - used in displays and windows

Orange: Energizing - used to push for action, as in impulse buying

Purple: Calm - used in anti-aging products

Black: Power - selling luxury, aggressive products, or to impulse buyers Color can even change what you taste. Customers who bought 7-Up cans that had their color changed to yellow reported that the drink tasted more lemony. Gender effects Men and women see colors differently. Men are generally less sensitive to color, so a subtle shade of orangey-red will just appear red. Men also see green things as more yellow than women. Women are less sensitive to color in the detail of objects and also in things which are moving quickly. Red has been associated with romance and an American experiment offering dates with identical pictures of the same woman in different colored dresses found that a red dress was most effective in stimulating male desire. Cultural effects Remember that color can be culturally dependent. For example, although Black is the color of death in many countries, in China the color associated with death is White. Color Non-Western meaning RED: Eastern: luck, prosperity, happiness, long life, fertility, power Some Africa: mourning PINK : Belgium: boys (rest of Europe is girls) ORANGE: Eastern: happiness, spiritual YELLOW: Eastern: sacred, imperial, wisdom, male Some Middle-East: mourning Africa: high rank France: jealousy Greece: sadness GREEN: Eastern: birth, hope, new beginnings, youth, immortality, fertility Middle East: Islam, strength, luck, fertility, prestige Africa: corruption South America: death BLUE: Eastern: immortality, life, feminine Middle East: protection Mexico: mourning PURPLE: Eastern: wealth, privilege, sorrow, mourning Brazil: death, mourning BROWN: Eastern: earth, mourning BLACK: Eastern: wealth, health, boys, mystery, evil WHITE: Eastern: death, mourning, funerals, sadness, purity, age, misfortune Middle East: purity, mourning So what? So use the color in situations where you are trying to persuade. Use shades of brown and green to relax people and say you are environmentally friendly. Use red to kick people into action. And so on. McDonald's, apparently, use red and yellow because red=fast and yellow=hunger (hence fast food!). Remember also that meaning is what we create. It does not exist in the color itself and individual meanings may or may not exist in different cultures and individuals. See also Meaning, Color Schemes
