Basic Color Psychology

The chart above shows basic color psychology and what message or emotion many colors convey. The different colors you use are part of the message so you should carefully consider your choices.

For example, consider the different PowerPoint templates shown below. Does one make you feel one way more than another even though the message is the same?

Changing the colors of the materials you use to communicate safety information is easy to do and may have an effect on how your message is perceived. Give it a try!
