pink2I am a big believer in using pink colours in creating unique and stylish business style. Just like Audrey Hepburn said ones: ‘I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.‘ Every time I read this quote it gives me a sense of warmth, uplift and positive emotions. And guess what? According to colour psychology pink colour is considered inspiring, warm and comforting, suggesting hope for the future. The message pink colour sends to your partners or customers can have a major impact on your business success. Psychologically speaking pink is associated with nurturing, love, and compassion. It is feminine and youthful if you use soft pink shades and it will be associated with passion and energy in its deeper palettes. Interestingly enough, in Japan, pink has a masculine association. Pink cherry tree blossoms are believed to represent fallen Japanese warriors. Understanding the context in which pink is being used is essential to understanding how your audience will interact with it.

pink5Like all colours, pink is very diverse. Bright and warm pinks, such as fuchsia are vibrant and encourage a sense of confidence.

Delicate shades are friendly and represent the carefree days of childhood, hence these colours are promoting non-threatening attitude.
