Colour Considerations for POS Display Units

Colour is the very first thing you will notice about your POS Display Units. It is interesting to note that as humans, we are programmed to see colour first, shape second. photography third and finally words. In addition to this, 85% of customers say colour is the primary reason for purchasing a product (Statistics from ColourCom).

Where possible it is best to stick to brand colours for consistency, but also bear in mind the following:

  • Blue is the go to colour for many brands as it conveys trust and security and a long with pink is often used to attract more traditional buyers.
  • Red is thought to stimulate decision making and increase the heart rate.
  • Yellow is psychologically the happiest colour in the colour spectrum.

Certain colours carry strong connections with specific ideas and industries, which businesses can use in their retail display POS. For example, green is strongly associated with environmental friendliness, so a company marketing to an environmentally conscious audience might benefit from the liberal use of green in it’s point of purchase displays.
