The meaning of colors…

Posted on 13 April 2006 by Lord Brar

I came across this thread titled Why do all companies only use, red, blue or black for their logo colors? on SitePoint Forums.

It further lead me to a really interesting page about the meaning of colors. You should read it.

I can tell you from my personal experience and also to infer from an experiment quoted in Malcolm Gladwell’s excellent book Blink — colors indeed have a very strong psychological effect and can be used to manipulate the mind of your target. Would talk more about it in a later post as right now I am dead tired after a long day’s work.

Go check out the meaning of colors. :)

This is a viral video from Youtube that is getting a lot of attention.

I will let the author set the scene:

It was back in Oct 2005.

My wedding was about a month to go and I decided to make a memorable event for my future wife. But, I and she were working and due to preparation of wedding, I didn’t have enough budgets for expensive proposal. While I was considering for the event, I remembered what she said in the past. “Wow it would be great if I can get a chance to go in the room with full of yellow post it just like Sang Sang Plus” (Sang Sang Plus is one of the famous talk show (TV program) in Korea and they prepare a room with full of yellow post it - questions from fans to famous celebrity)

I wrote all the happy memories that I had with my wife in 5,940 post it. It took me 4 days & 5 nights to write everything and post it in the bathroom. (I tried main living room first, but, due to surface of wallpaper, I had to change the place) Once we back from honeymoon, we took all the post it off and kept it in the box until now.
