  1. When I started reading this article I had no idea about ‘Color Symbolism’ in marketing but ended up grasping importance of why choosing right color needed careful considerations and evaluation.

    I think author with unique writing style has done quite justice to the subject of article by highlighting various thoughts on human phycology of colors and its instant reaction, back stage deliberations, predicting consumer reactions to consumer-brand convergence at ‘Moment of Truth’. But same time author has cautioned about not every color may have universally accepted feelings or messages to be conveyed to consumers due to cultural differences and If I may add personal preferences.

    Overall such crisp yet quality articles are what people like to read in this age of hyper information.

    Looking forward to read more of such quality writing.
