What if the green I see is actually red for someone else, but because we’ve all been taught to call it “green,” we never notice the difference?

For example, while they easily distinguish between subtle shades of green that would look identical to us, they struggle to differentiate between blue and green. This shows that language and cultural exposure can deeply affect how we see color.</p><p id="1e3f" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mz na gu nc b nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv nw nx gn bk">2. <strong class="nc gv">Debi Roberson’s Research</strong></p><p id="e92f" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mz na gu nc b nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv nw nx gn bk">Studies on the Himba tribe revealed that the language you speak can influence how you perceive color.

Some brands choose colors that align with their message, while others build their narrative around the colors they’ve chosen. When a company decides on a color palette, they’re shaping how you feel every time you see their logo, advertisement, or product.</p><p id="e3cb" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mz na gu nc b nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv nw nx gn bk"><strong class="nc gv">Capitalism and Color: The Role in Design and Marketing</strong></p><p id="cb94" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mz na gu nc b nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv nw nx gn bk">Beyond evoking emotions, color also plays a critical role in user experience design and marketing. In an era of information overload, the right color can make a brand stand out in a crowded space.

Companies like Instagram and Pinterest have taught us that consumers respond to visually striking content. Color is often the first thing that grabs attention, but it’s how that color is paired with other elements — like typography, layout, and imagery — that keeps people engaged. The rise of minimalist design in packaging and advertising comes from the understanding that clean, simple designs stand out in the fast-paced world of digital content.</p><p id="8ad7" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mz na gu nc b nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv nw nx gn bk"><strong class="nc gv">Conclusion: The Power of Perception and Color in Branding</strong></p><p id="414f" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mz na gu nc b nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv nw nx gn bk">Colors are not just wavelengths; they’re emotional triggers that brands use to connect with their audience. Whether you see red as I see it is not the point. What matters is how a brand makes you feel when you see red or any other color. Brands understand that colors are emotionally charged, and they use this knowledge to their advantage — particularly during festive seasons.</p><p id="9703" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mz na gu nc b nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv nw nx gn bk">Take, for example, <strong class="nc gv">Diwali</strong> in India and <strong class="nc gv">Christmas</strong> in the West. Both holidays feature the color red, but the emotional undertones and complementary colors differ. During Diwali, brands lean heavily on red and gold, which symbolize prosperity, new beginnings, and wealth. Gold reflects the cultural importance of buying new items during this time, including gold jewelry and luxurious attire. It signifies opulence and light, aligning with Diwali’s festive and spiritual essence.</p></div></div><div class="ny bh"><figure class="nz oa ob oc od ny bh paragraph-image"><picture><source srcSet="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:640/format:webp/1*DAs98nsSaOuLAp2OVfiuQQ.jpeg 640w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:720/format:webp/1*DAs98nsSaOuLAp2OVfiuQQ.jpeg 720w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:750/format:webp/1*DAs98nsSaOuLAp2OVfiuQQ.jpeg 750w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:786/format:webp/1*DAs98nsSaOuLAp2OVfiuQQ.jpeg 786w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:828/format:webp/1*DAs98nsSaOuLAp2OVfiuQQ.jpeg 828w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/format:webp/1*DAs98nsSaOuLAp2OVfiuQQ.jpeg 1100w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:2400/format:webp/1*DAs98nsSaOuLAp2OVfiuQQ.jpeg 2400w" sizes="(min-resolution: 4dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 4) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (min-resolution: 3dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 67vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3) and (max-width: 700px) 65vw, (min-resolution: 2.5dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2.5) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (min-resolution: 2dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 1200px" type="image/webp"/><source data-testid="og" srcSet="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:640/1*DAs98nsSaOuLAp2OVfiuQQ.jpeg 640w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:720/1*DAs98nsSaOuLAp2OVfiuQQ.jpeg 720w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:750/1*DAs98nsSaOuLAp2OVfiuQQ.jpeg 750w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:786/1*DAs98nsSaOuLAp2OVfiuQQ.jpeg 786w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:828/1*DAs98nsSaOuLAp2OVfiuQQ.jpeg 828w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/1*DAs98nsSaOuLAp2OVfiuQQ.jpeg 1100w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:2400/1*DAs98nsSaOuLAp2OVfiuQQ.jpeg 2400w" sizes="(min-resolution: 4dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 4) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (min-resolution: 3dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 67vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3) and (max-width: 700px) 65vw, (min-resolution: 2.5dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2.5) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (min-resolution: 2dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 1200px"/><img alt="" class="bh md oe c" width="1200" height="630" loading="eager" role="presentation"/></picture><figcaption class="of ff og oh oi oj ok bf b bg z du"><em class="ol">Image by author</em></figcaption></figure></div><div class="ab cb"><div class="ci bh fz ga gb gc"><p id="28b5" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mz na gu nc b nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv nw nx gn bk">As Christmas approaches, the color red is paired with green, gold, and silver to evoke warmth, tradition, and festive joy. The use of green during Christmas, symbolizing evergreens and renewal, complements red’s association with warmth and love. Silver and gold, in this context, bring a touch of celebration and grandeur, similar to Diwali.
