Did you know that color psychology plays a significant role in website design?
The colors you choose for your website can evoke specific emotions and influence how visitors perceive your brand. From calming blues to vibrant yellows, each color has its own unique impact on the viewer.
Here’s a rough overview of some popular brand colors:
If you want to portray kindness, joy, creativity, intellect and energy in your business branding, yellow may be a good choice! A past client of mine wanted people to feel WELCOMED when landing on her website, while also feeling excited about a topic that intimidates a lot of new business owners – copywriting.
She infused yellow not only in her branding, but also in her photos… BRILLIANT!
If your brand is all about growth or health, adding a shade of green is a great choice. Green represents balance, hope, freshness, and life.
For all my calming businesses, add blue to your palette! Blue shows you are reliable, honest, relaxed, and sophisticated.
We all know that pink represents femininity and romance, but it can also evoke compassion, playfulness, warmth, and intuition. Check out Kat’s website! Kat Schmoyer is an integrator for entrepreneurs who also has an agency that creates Facebook and Instagram ads, and helps with launch strategy and project management for creative small business owners.
I love myself a good shade of orange! Orange yells positivity, adventure, confidence, warmth, spontaneity, and creativity.

I’ve got messy hair and a thirsty heart.
I overshare my life, and have an ultra-expressive personality. Some words people use to describe me are: helpful, real, fun, creative, authentic, and kind.
Elphaba from Wicked is kind of my alter-ego as I am always trying to forge my own path and make a difference in the World, somehow, someway, while also constantly criticizing myself and trying to become the better version of me.
Quality conversations + coffee come easy to me.
I’ve never had an issue connecting naturally with others (probs because I can go on and on about my life story, not that it is interesting, I just process externally, anyone else?!)
