Colours play a crucial role in retail, influencing consumer behaviour, brand perception and ultimately sales.
One of the first things customers notice are bright, contrasting colours, which are also useful for highlighting sales, novelties and special promotions.
On a psychological level, each colour evokes different emotions and feelings: red can give a sense of urgency, blue of confidence and calm, gold often symbolises exclusivity, as do earth colours, including green and brown, which are particularly favoured in sustainable and ecological communication.
In general, the colours chosen for a shop fitting can influence and encourage customers to spend more time shopping, because a well thought-out colour scheme can make a visit to a shop more pleasant and enjoyable. As many as 92.6 per cent of customers choose based on visual factors during the shopping experience.
