    Color Psychology

    Color schemes have the power to send powerful messages without the use of too many words, as they set the tone of everything that follows.

    In color psychology, every shade has a different meaning. For example, black can be used to make a product look elegant and luxurious. White can symbolize minimalism, and yellow is a universal, accessible color that brings contrast to visuals.
