Colour and the
consumer
The world of the consumer is becoming
a more 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 it is
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
to appeal 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
in black or grey packaging, whereas
those aimed at women are more likely to
be in softer shades like blue or pink.
It is important that the colours on a
