Colour Psychology for Branding

The right colour choices directly affect how your brand is perceived:

  • Blue — trust, reliability, technology (used by Stripe, Salesforce, LinkedIn)
  • Green — growth, health, finance (used by Robinhood, WhatsApp, John Deere)
  • Orange — energy, creativity, affordability (used by Amazon, HubSpot)
  • Purple — luxury, wisdom, creativity (used by Cadbury, Twitch, Hallmark)
  • Red — urgency, passion, power (used by YouTube, Netflix, Coca-Cola)

WCAG Contrast Ratios

Accessible design requires sufficient contrast between text and background:

  • Normal text: minimum 4.5:1 ratio (WCAG AA)
  • Large text (18pt+): minimum 3:1 ratio (WCAG AA)
  • Enhanced: 7:1 ratio for AAA compliance

This tool calculates contrast ratios so you can check accessibility before publishing.

Colours in Brand Automation

When building automated content (social posts, reports, email templates), using correct brand hex codes ensures visual consistency. Store your brand palette in a central config rather than hard-coding hex values in each template — this comes up directly when automating social media posting, where every generated graphic needs to stay on-brand without manual checking.
