The brands wish to associate through colors and spend a lot of money on this issue. Colors have psychologically different effects on people. While some color pushes people to pessimism, some colors create an excitement in the humanbeing. The businesses take these psychological effects into account when determining the colors they would use in their brand. Colors are one of the methods used to create awareness for the brand.
