Yes! color is very important of creating brand, I believe that color is not only relate to the brand attributes rather it is more related to the brand persona (attributes make the persona). My opinion, color have significant impact on emotion,therefore, it has wide variety of specific mental associations for example:
•Non-primary colors are more calming than primary colors. •Blue is the most calming of the primary colors, followed closely by a lighter red. •Test takers score higher and weight lifters lift more in blue rooms. •Blue text increases reading retention. •Yellow evokes cheerfulness. Houses with yellow trim or flower gardens sell faster. •Reds and oranges encourage diners to eat quickly and leave. Red also makes food more appealing and influences people to eat more. (It is no coincidence that fast food restaurants almost always use these colors.) •Pink enhances appetites and has been shown to calm prison inmates. •Blue and black suppress appetites. •Children prefer primary colors. (Notice that children’s toys and books often use these colors.) •Forest green and burgundy appeals to the wealthiest 3 percent of Americans and often raises the perceived price of an item. •Orange is often used to make an expensive item seem less expensive. •Red clothing can convey power. •Red trim is used in bars and casinos because it can cause people to lose track of time. •White is typically associated with cool, clean and fresh. •Red is often associated with Christmas and orange with Halloween and Thanksgiving. •Red and black are often associated with sexy and seductive and are favored by porn sites. •Black clothes make people look thinner. •Black is also associated with elegance and sophistication. It also seems mysterious. •Black is the favorite color of Goths.
Colors also have a functional impact on readability, eye-strain, ability to attract attention, ability to be seen at night, etc. This is important in choosing colors for signing, website pages, prints ads, and other marketing media.
•The most visible color is yellow. •The most legible of all color combinations are black on yellow and green on white followed by red on white. •It is no surprise that most traffic signs use these color combinations. •Black on white is the easiest to read, on paper, and on computer screens. •Hard colors (red, orange and yellow) are more visible and tend to make objects look larger and closer. They are easier to focus upon. They create excitement and cause people to over-estimate time. •Soft colors (violet, blue and green) are less visible and tend to make objects look smaller and further away. They aren’t as easy to focus upon. They have a calming effect, increase concentration, and cause people to under-estimate time.
