Color Psychology in Business Names

How color choices in branding affect customer perception and trust.

Trademark Lens Team

Color choices influence purchase decisions within 90 seconds of first exposure. Pick the wrong color and you'll repel your target demographic before they read your value proposition.

Blue = Trust

Facebook, PayPal, banks. 40% of top brands use blue. Safe choice.

Red = Energy

Coca-Cola, Virgin, Netflix. Grabs attention. Overused in food industry.

Green = Growth/Eco

Starbucks, Whole Foods. Environmental or health brands. Avoid if unrelated.

Black = Luxury

Chanel, Prada, Apple. Premium positioning. Risky for service businesses.

Color Doesn't Override Bad Name

Choose name first. Color second. Never pick a name because it "looks good in blue."
