Picture this: scrolling endlessly through an online store or standing in front of shelves of products. Suddenly, your eyes stop. But why? The answer isn’t random; it’s colour. A split-second decision determines whether someone clicks, buys or walks away. Explore what impact colour has for your business.
What happens if you don't consider the right colour for your brand, (web)designs or the packaging of your product? It has a direct impact on your spending and costs, and here's why…
The risks you can't see
Making the wrong colour choice can have unintended consequences:
- LOST SALES:
On a crowded shelf or endless scroll, products that blend in are products that get overlooked. Colour is often the first thing people notice. Or don’t. Your packaging blends into the background instead of standing out. - CONFUSING MESSAGES:
The wrong colour turns "trustworthy" into boring or "exciting" into aggressive. You might think you’re sending a signal of calm or excitement, but your audience could see it as cold, harsh or overwhelming. - COSTLY CHAOS:
Without clear, research-based direction, teams end up in endless debates. More opinions mean more delays, more revisions and rising costs. There’s internal misalignment.
>> You’re becoming invisible
>> You’re giving mixed signals
>> You’re wasting time and resources
Here's the twist: Colour isn’t just decoration. It’s persuasion. Colours speak louder than words, but only if they’re saying the right thing. At One Inch Whale, we don’t guess when it comes to colour. We know.
