Colour and the consumer ‘The world of the consumer is becorning ‘amore colourful place, as manufacturers use colours to encourage shoppers to buy their products. A supermarket sells, thousands of products and each one is. carefully packaged in particular colours to.catch the shopper's eye. The colour of the package gives the consumer Information about the product inside, Different colours create different impressions. For example, a dessert aimed at an adult market may be packaged in black to suggest that tis sophisticated and expensive, whereas a yoghurt which appeals to children will probably be in a brightly coloured carton, Sweets and chocolate are also often sold in bright red and pink wrappers, which indicate sweetness. Perhaps brightly coloured wrappers are also an attempt toappeal to the child in every one of us. ‘A purple and gold box of chocolates, however, indicates that the contents are top quality and luxurious. There is also quite an obvious difference in the colours of products aimed at men and women, Men's toiletries, for example, often come inblack or grey packaging, whereas ‘those aimed at women are more likely 10 be in softer shades like blue or pink. Itisimportant that the colours on a 11 Colours are used in packaging of consumer goods 2 to attract consumers to the product. a particular product stay the same. fa packet of our favourite snack is not the right colour, we might not buy it. Also, the colour ofthe packaging can help the ‘consumer in a hurry to pick out his or her favourite brand from amongst the ‘countless others on the shelves. However, there isa danger that competing brands could copy the colours and design on the packet, so that when two brands are side by side on the shelves, the consumer could be tricked into selecting the wrong one. The least colourful products in the supermarket are probably the supefmarkets'own products. Sophisticated, bright packaging costs ‘money, so these products are normally. sold in very plain packaging, which makes them easily recognisable as the more ‘economical alternative. As supermarkets save money on packaging, this saving can be passed on to the customer. The colour of the food is as important as the colour of the packaging. When we open atin or carton, we have certain expectations. Fresh food is very attractive, Markets full of fresh fruit and vegetables are incredibly colourful places, so we associate strong colours with fresh, tasty food. When food is processed, though, some of these natural colours are lost. This is why the food industry has always added colours toa range of food. Experiments have shown that when a food looks more lke the fresh version, people thinkitt tastes better, Sometimes the food industry creates an unnaturally strong colour in a food. For example, bbanana ice cream is usually yellow, and strawberry yoghurt looks quite pink. Ifyou made these items in your kitchen, the colours would be vvery much lighter, but consumers have come to expect brighter colours. n the past, the colours that were added to food were created in a laboratory. Nowadays, however, there is a trend towards natural food colours, as consumers are getting worried about the effects of artificial colours on health. Your bright pink strawberry yoghurt may be coloured with beetroot, 2 dark pink vegetable, forexample. ‘There's no doubt that colour enhances ‘our experience as consumers. But we should be aware that manufacturers often use it to create a false impression, and remember that it's easy to be fooled by the colour of the package or the food itsel. 4 Special colours in packaging are meant to get shoppers to opt fora fevourite brand. to make the supermarket attractive. € to tell customers how to use the product. d_ to make most products look similar. bb make it dificult to copy the design. show the quality of the product. d_ make the consumer think carefully about the product. 2 Bright colours particularly appeal to 5.
