Green


This colour symbolizes growth, health, and tranquillity. It’s often used by brands related to nature, wellness, and finance. Think of Whole Foods, Starbucks, and TD Bank, which use green to convey freshness, sustainability, and stability.

Purple


Associated with luxury, creativity, and wisdom, purple is often used by brands that want to convey a sense of elegance and sophistication. Companies like Cadbury and Hallmark use purple to create a premium and exclusive feel.

By understanding the psychological impact of colours, you can choose hues that align with your brand values and resonate with your target audience. Whether it’s green for sustainability, orange for energy, or purple for luxury, the right colour choice can enhance brand recognition and influence consumer behaviour.

In this blog, we’re giving you a behind-the-scenes look at why it was time for a change, how we approached our redesign, and what the new Lume site says about who we are now.
