• “When price information in retail ads is emphasized (e.g., by making it red), compared to other product attributes, the ability for people
to process the other attributes of the ad (e.g., photo quality of products) is diminished.”
• That red price became a focal point of attention – and thus the only information that men used to evaluate their purchase.
• More importantly, because men associate red prices with savings, they relied more heavily on that belief.

• As discussed earlier multiple studies have shown that warm colors increase arousal. For example,
Crowley (1993) found a U-shaped relationship between arousal and color wavelength
• When you’re exposed to warm colors (e.g., red, orange), you experience an immediate biological
reaction. Your adrenaline starts flowing. Your blood pressure rises. You experience a greater sense of
stimulation.
• Evaluative Reaction
• In addition to arousal, the other reaction is evaluative: do consumers “like” your choice of color?
• Crowley (1993) found a positive linear trend between evaluation and color wavelength. People tend to
“like” colors with shorter wavelengths.. So, we can use Yellow, Orange & Red color to increase arousal
in that order & use Purple, Blue & Green to decrease arousal in that order

Application
• This has several applications in negotiations or bidding
• The profit in negotiations is partly determined by the initial price because it
influences both, the seller and the buyer
• Starting the offer with an initial price that’s both high and precise will eventually
lead to higher final prices in the bidding
• In case of eBay auctions, one can generate more revenue by establishing a high
reserve price - a price that needs to be met for the item to be sold
• High reserve prices anchor people towards the higher end of the spectrum,
resulting in higher revenue
