Color plays a much bigger role in influencing what we purchase than we think. Companies spend hundreds of thousands of dollars testing the colors of ads, banners, call-to-action-buttons, etc… and there’s a reason for that! HubSpot, for example, did a color test for its CTA button and found a red CTA button outperformed a standard green CTA button by over 21%. They increased their conversion rate without changing anything on that page except for that button. That is the power of color psychology in marketing.
