Getting familiar with brand colors
In this article, we will look at what the basic colors mean and how they apply to your website brand.
Getting Started:
I advise selecting two brand colors (the major color and the accent color) for your online course business based on the feelings you want to convey to your students.
I also advise browsing through these colors and searching for the feelings you want people to associate with your brand:
- Red: Power, Passion, Energy, Fearlessness, Strength, Excitement.
- Orange: Courage, Confidence, Warmth, Innovation, Friendliness, Energy.
- Yellow: Optimism, Warmth, Happiness, Creativity, Intellect, Extraversion.
- Green: Health, Hope, Freshness, Nature, Growth, Prosperity.
- Blue: Trust, Loyalty, Dependability, Logic, Serenity, Security.
- Purple: Wisdom, Luxury, Wealth, Spirituality, Imaginative, Sophistication.
- Pink: Imaginative, Passion, Transformation, Creative, Innovation, Balance.
- Brown: Seriousness, Warmth, Earthiness, Reliability, Support, Authenticity.
- Black: Sophistication, Security, Power, Elegance, Authority, Substance.
- Grey: Timelessness, Neutrality, Reliability, Balance, Intelligence, Strength.
- White: Cleanness, Clarity, Purity, Simplicity, Sophistication, Freshness.
If you want to make your brand look more premium and of higher value, go for darker primary colors and pastel secondary colors.
