Silver: It's the third most popular vehicle color and is linked to a sense of innovation and modernity. High-tech products are often silver, so the color is often seen as new, modern, and cutting-edge. While bold colors oftentimes get a negative reputation, they are not without perks. On an obvious note, they are useful for attracting the eye. They stand out in the visual plane, which is why animals of prey generally do not use them to camouflage themselves. This means that incorporating them into designs can make them more dramatic and impressive, leaving audiences feeling energized. Red, orange, pink, bright green, and others have become key colors in bringing designs to life and creating fun visuals. In particular, minimalistic designs with few images or elements can do well with playful color palettes. The re-popularization of these colors has indeed made a big mark in our advertising world. They permeate our social media, billboards, fashion, movies. Companies like LinkedIn and ClassPass, amongst hundreds of others, have gone full steam ahead and embedded them in their core marketing strategies. Mindful Relaxation: Engage in a therapeutic activity that allows you to unwind, destress, and find peace in the present moment.

They very cleverly mix small bursts of bold colors with an overall muted palette to achieve a happy medium. Although bold colors have their place, it is far more beneficial to use them sparingly. In doing so, they are more in control of where they guide their audience’s gaze and how they highlight the focal point. The number of second between lightning and thunder divided by five equals your distance from the storm in miles. Yang J, Shen X. The application of color psychology in community health environment design. J Environ Public Health. 2022;2022:7259595. doi:10.1155/2022/7259595 One of the reasons for this shift lies in the subtlety of these colors. Bold colors often fight for attention and detract from the overall design by overwhelming the onlooker. Think of the vivid Christmas green and red - they might be festive, but could you see yourself using them often? The thing about muted colors is that subtlety is everything, it gives the design meaning. The point is for the audience to feel comfortable observing the harmonious colors, much like you would with a saxophone playing during a jazz concert. Paired correctly, they heighten the audience’s experience and help them appreciate the individual components that bring the art together.
