I would say no. It is all relative to what you are marketing. Depending on the demographic group you are focusing on, certain colors are more appealing. Example, single women like stronger color variations while single men tend to lean to more primary colors. this is only one example, and very general. |

Wow! From where do you get the ideas for all those wonderful questions?
Now, let me answer this one, I think it all DEPENDS. Hey, wait! don't expect a diplomatic and politically correct answer. Let me finish, yea, so as I was saying, it all depends on the product you are marketing. The products that are for fun and amusement should be advertized with vibrant and lively colors like yellow, red, turquoise, orange, springgreen, yellowgreen, lime, skyblue, pink, gold, lemonchiffon etc.
The colors for marketing mature products and companies like things of everyday usage and insurance companies etc should be a little calm, graceful and mature e.g. Blue, brown, black, burlywood, lightcyan, peru, seagreen, blanchedalmond and green.
White goes with everything.
But, usually we don't use one single theme color in marketing. We use one or more color combinations. So, here are some ideal color combinations and their marketing relevance-
(For convenience, I'll only use combinations between the colors red, blue, green, white and yellow)
1- Red and Green- Amusement parks, fast-food items, restaurents etc.
2- Red and Blue- Stationery items, Banks, Public corportions.
3- Yellow and Red- Funky mobile phones, kids' toys and games etc
4- Green and white- The first thing that comes to mind with these colors is a hospital & health services.
5- Blue and white- Insurance agencies, Banks, Travel agencies, Mobile phones, cameras etc.
So, what I meant to say is every color has its attraction but, one has to be careful as to where to use it. |

I have also heard that red and green yellows are hard to read and the yellow background is the best... but I wuld have to disagree about the yellow background. I think it is to bright and can cause a headache.... I prefer blues and blacks... but I think it highly depends on what you are marketing.... go with like colors that match your target marketing group.... make a few prototypes of bill boards, signs, etc and ask the public what they like.... |

Yeah... Yellow and orange totally divert you from the actual product. And if even though it may seem happy and la di da di da, it's really bad for marketing.
I suggest black and greys, it is so cool. It's kind of sophisticated. |

It has been said that in the area of food marketing, never to use green, because the consumer subliminally (impulsively) associates green with mold.
Black is often associated with a poor quality product, while grey and red are often associated with a well-made product. Blue also, is popular among consumers, except in the food area. |

It depends on what you are marketing. And what target group you are trying to reach. Good luck (Other wise no color is wrong) Remember most of the trends are set by marketing itself. |

Don't use really bright, neon colors, they'll get very annoying. Instead, try using the same color with less eye-burning light. Also, don't use muddy browns or greens, they look sickening. |

Green is traditionally the "horny color" or it was back in 6th grade, so that might not be too marketable. |

i would think that grey would be a bad color |

#1 Battleship Gray,... definately a DEPRESSING color.
#2 A cross between Lime Green & Yellow, Sort of a Pea Green, just plain UGLY. |

Brown, unless complimentary colors like eggshell blue or verdant green are present. Even then brown shouldn't be the main color, it's better as a "trim" color. |

depends what your marketing...i personally don't like brown, but look what UPS did with it. it really depends on what your selling and how you use it, and also who your selling to. |

Yellow- it isn't easy to see unless on a dark background. Also hot pink paper because it is hard on your eyes. |

There are not necessarily good or bad colors in marketing. However, it is a good idea to use a color that compliments the product you are marketing. As a general rule people are attracted to brighter colors. I hoped that helped. |

Don't think so. Depends on the product and the image you're trying to create. |

It depends on what you are marketing and to whom. Different age groups respond to different colors and combinations of colors. |

The most widely and popular color used in marketing is called PCH red (PCH stands for Publishers Clearing House). As well, PMS 185 red is also very widely used. |

For some reason I don't like to buy anything with orange on it. To me, it seems like the product is outdated, like it was made in the 70s or something.. or like bad color combos like yellow and brown. I would rather buy something that has cool colors, like blue or purple. It's more relaxed and soothing. But, I suppose it depends on what your product is. |

Put yourself in the shoes of the customer, or the "other side". Ask yourself what appeals to you as a consumer. |
