Did you know that colors can influence up to <\/span>90%<\/span><\/a> of the initial impression?
\n<\/span>Moreover, <\/span>93%<\/span><\/a> of shoppers focus on the visual element while making a buying decision.
\n<\/span>Also, colors influence the purchase decision for 85%<\/a> of customers.
\nFurther colors can also boost brand awareness by 80%<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All these statistics show that using the right colors is key to your business\u2019s success. But if you believe that color psychology is important only in product design and logo design, think again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can also leverage color psychology on your business website to boost conversions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How?<\/h2>\n

By using the right kind of images, text highlight, CTA button colors, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, if you think finding \u201cthe color\u201d that will boost conversion for your website is as simple as a Google query, you are mistaken.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u2018Conversion boosting color\u2019 differs for each brand.<\/h2>\n

It is 100% true that colors evoke specific sets of emotions in people. But emotions are not always the same. And neither are the results of the colors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an example of how the \u2018conversion boosting color\u2019 varies from brand to brand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hubspot saw a 21% increase in CTR after changing the color of its buttons from green to red. However, Optin Monster still uses green CTA buttons. They wouldn\u2019t be doing that if they weren\u2019t getting desirable CTRs, right?<\/span><\/p>\n

So then what color should your CTA button be?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, here are 5 factors to consider while picking the colors for your website.<\/span><\/p>\n

5 Factors To Consider While Picking Colors For Your Website<\/h2>\n

1. The Logo<\/h3>\n

Blue indicates trust. But if your logo is bright sunny yellow, a blue website won\u2019t look and feel trustworthy. It would feel foreign and unrelated to your business, to say the least.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, it is important to make sure you pick those colors for your website that match or complement your logo.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Your Audience Demographics<\/h3>\n

\"DemographyColor preferences vary according to demographics. Many research studies have proven that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, while teenage guys tend to like denim blue, middle-aged men would prefer pebble black.<\/span><\/p>\n

Similarly, 2 to 10-year-old girls are the most attracted to tiffany blue. But 20 to 30-year-old females have a higher inclination toward cherry red.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, you need to make sure you pick colors that appeal to your target demography.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Cultural Factors<\/h3>\n

How colors are perceived varies from culture to culture.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, while white is universally accepted as a sign of peace, it means different things in different cultures. In the American culture, white is used in weddings and is considered pious. In China, Korea, and some Asian countries, however, white is a color worn at funerals and is associated with death, mourning, and bad luck.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, a wedding website with a white theme would work great in the US but fail terribly in India.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another example of culturally-different perceptions of color is red. Red evokes danger and caution in the Middle East. But in India, it is the color of purity, that brides wear during weddings. And when combined with green, it becomes a festive color – the theme of Christmas – in western countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, for global businesses, especially, selecting the correct color for the website becomes very important. If not, you stand a risk of offending some sections of your audience.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Usability<\/h3>\n

Black, though sometimes related to negativity and mourning, is generally used to denote luxury and sophistication.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now say you pick black for your luxury clothing website. But the color of the clothes that you want to display on your side, won\u2019t pop with a black background. Here, it comes important to give preference to usability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The font, background, and accent colors need to make sure that the visibility and usability of your user interface<\/a> are not compromised.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Don\u2019t Forget White<\/h3>\n

When choosing colors, most website owners forget white. Other than being a symbol of peace, purity, and tranquility, white also offers much-needed relief from the array of colors that surround us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In content, for example, white space between walls of text is important to make reading easier. Web users won\u2019t take the pains of reading long blocks of running text like academic readers. They need breaks and white spaces which ease the eye.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, when you want your images or other multimedia content to pop, white is most likely to be the best background choice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Final Step – Try & Test<\/h2>\n

\"testYou can consult the brightest minds and the best books on color psychology for choosing the colors for your website. But that does not guarantee conversions. Why? Because humans are unpredictable, no matter how much data and insights you have about them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, to optimize your website\u2019s color scheme for conversions<\/strong>, you need to test the options with real users. Whether it is your logo, landing page, or graphics, make sure you A\/B test everything before finalizing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can seek public opinion via social media polls, using split testing tools, or by gathering consumer feedback in focus groups or via review forms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
