The day we evolve from the life’s basic needs and moved to cave paintings, rituals and festivals, the colours have a special space in our life. Uttam Hasabnis, a creative consultant at Cub Design, believes that even right colours for a brand come from a deep understanding of the brand’s target audience and it can make or break any brand.

The colour of your brand is not only an essential character of your brand’s story but also important in all forms of communications. Colour has the unique ability to make or break the success of a product. The right colour decision for your brand doesn’t cost you much. But the wrong colour can really impact the overall performance of your brand.

At Cub Design, we believe that the positive effects of colours on the consumer decision certainly can help enhance the brand image and due to the different meanings of colours in different cultures, we need to consider the attitudes and preferences of our target audience when choosing a correct colour for a brand. The best way is to do an in-depth research. It creates in us a feeling about colour. Observe, experiment and see how they make sense for you. We give all necessary freedom to our creative team to explore the brand and its environment physically to bring out the perfect colour that supports the brand positioning. And make sure the process must be based on:

Sometimes, choosing a colour that stands out can help. Once you’ve determined what it is that your audience is looking for, you can best decide on the colour to help them find it.

At times, rebranding is important to indicate that the brand is still modern and progressive. When freshening up logos and products you have to think about whether or not you want to retain some of the past, or scrap it entirely, ‘However, this isn’t always the best option’. Most brands want to hold on to the equity and goodwill of their image, by maintaining some of the colours. But yes, you can add a secondary colour to refresh the brand image.

When choosing a correct colour, you must think far beyond your personal opinions. Also, it should never be an exercise driven by the personal taste of the superiors involved. Properly chosen colours define your brand’s value, strengthen and support your brand positioning, enable awareness and customer recall, and distinguish your brand among its alternatives. Picking the right colour should never be underestimated.
