RED

It is the most stimulating colour, evoking passion and desire. A good example is red lighting, which results in a human reaction over 12% faster than any other light. This colour is perfect for sales, promotions etc.

GREEN

Colour related to relaxation, peace and nature. Motivates people to join social groups. Suits to companies related to environmental protection or health care.

BLUE

This colour gives a sense of security not only to customers but also to the brand. It is because it is the favourite colour of most people around the world.
