Congrats, friend ๐ By completing this quiz, you've proven your commitment to building a cohesive brand and attracting your ideal customers and clients. Based on your responses, your top colors are apricot and morning blue โ now sit tight while I tell you why...Your brand is all about offering support to those who may be struggling. You nurture your audience with products and services designed to make their lives healthier and happier, so your colors should speak to that same message, right?Because of its cheerful warmth, apricot is an apt option for your brand, especially when paired with revitalizing, rejuvenating morning blue. Your colors will soothe your customers and clients and encourage a more optimistic outlook! That's the power of a palette."Color! What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams." โ Paul GauguinApricot and morning blue not to your taste? Here are 3 steps for building your own tantalizing brand palette...1) Start with an emotionBy starting with an emotion, you can work backwards and come to a well-rounded decision as to which colors suit your brand. Try asking yourself how you want your audience to feel when they come across your content. For example, if you are a fitness brand, you might want your customers and clients to feel energized, driven, and determined. Once you've settled on a particular emotion, it's time to get down to the nitty-gritty and do some research...2) Find colors for your desired emotionSince colors elicit emotions, you can use them to influence how your audience feels in relation to your brand. For example, if you want potential clients and customers to consider you calm and clear-minded, search for colors associated with those emotions. You would likely end up with a palette of muted blues and greens. Colors may also have different cultural meanings, so make sure to take that into account before setting anything in stone.3) Choose complementary colorsOnce you've settled on your core colors, broaden your palette by incorporating complementary shades. Make sure to include a dark color, a light color and a few shades in-between that speak to your ideal customers and clients.
