Brand Building | Owning the color yellow

More on the role of color and branding. The two are inseparable. Without dwelling too much on the subject, as I’ve covered it in depth, but allow me to just point out that when “culture” is thrown in, the whole “brew” becomes a very interesting concoction (and challenge…!) indeed.

So, without much further ado… drum roll please… let’s look at colors and branding. Here’s the color YELLOW.

The color yellow symbolizes optimism, enlightenment, and happiness.  It is a perfect fit to convey the message behind Lance Armstrong’s campaign to inspire, and empower people with cancer.  It actually was a good fashion accessory too, and it set precedence for other causes to use bracelets to show support.

  • Joy, happiness, cheerfulness
  • Warmth
  • Pleasant
  • Energetic
  • Honor & loyalty
  • Lighthearted
  • Often associated with adolescents
  • Unstable & spontaneous color
