How people feel about a candidate or political issue informs how they vote – and people react to how you communicate, not just what you communicate. Campaign colors can elicit emotional responses and create lasting impressions about the subject of the advertisement. So it’s important to be strategic in using color. When creating your digital ad, don’t just think about what your ad should say, think about how you want the viewer to feel.

 

Here are some helpful tips according to Adweek to help you choose your digital advertisement’s color scheme:

 

  • Red is associated with intensity, passion, trust, intensity and aggressiveness.

 

  • Blue is associated with depth, stability, comfort, faith, understanding, clarity, confidence, calmness and trust.

 

  • Yellow is associated with energy, joy, energy and freshness.

 

  • Green is associated with harmony, calmness, trust, peace and hope.

 

  • Purple is associated with luxury, glamor, power, nostalgia, romance and introspection.

 

  • Orange is associated with happiness, enthusiasm, creativity and determination.

 

  • Black is associated with formality, seriousness and luxury.

 

  • Pink is associated with feminine traits, love, sweetness and warmth.

 

  • Brown is associated with nurturing, reliability, support and dependability.

 

A study done by the Radiological Society of North America found that our brains prefer brands we recognize, so it’s important to create a consistent brand identity. Make sure to keep your color scheme consistent across all your marketing.
