TOP 10 Popular Colours

 

Colours are what brighten up our lives. They are all around us, and each of them symbolize an emotion.

Here are some of the popular colours used in fashion, technology, and businesses.

1) Blue: While Blue is associated with sadness (Feeling Blue?), it is also the colour associated with calmness.
Turns out that actually staring at the Blue Sea or the Blue sky can make you feel calm.

2) Red: The colour of passion or the colour of anger? A lot of meaning is attached to the colour red, with some believing it to be sacred and therefore using it for special rituals.
Red is also used to signify danger and uses for sign boards because it was one of the colours that was visible even from a distance.
Because it is bright, the colour is popular used in kid's toys as well.

3) Black: Now it is said that black is not a colour but a shade, yet it is described as black.
Black is thought to be one of the most popular colours in dress. It definitely is the safest colour as it accentuates the figure. Most women have a "little black dress" in their closet when no other outfit seems to work out.
Say what you want, but black is also used in printing text as it makes words easier to read.
Black is thought to be an authoritative colour, although in some cultures, it is believed to be a colour of sadness and mourning.

4) Pink: The colour pink is not only a colour of innocence but also the go-to colour for girl's toys.
It is also one of the top colours women choose for lipstick shades.
Pink is used to signify softness and pure love, which is why most baby toys and clothes for girls are pink.

5) Green: The colour Green signifies growth, nature, and freshness. The colour is widely used in recycling as well, with most bins being green.
It is said that if you surround yourself with greenery, you can uplift your mood quickly. It definitely has a calming effect on people's minds.

6) Grey: Grey isn't used only for sweatpants and shirts. Grey stands for neutrality and balance, although the colour is often associated with depressive moods. This is probably because some people do not enjoy Grey cloudy skies. Others feel happy and enervized because it means that it will rain soon.

Grey has also been used a lot in formal wear. In fact, it is the second preferred choice in formals after black.

7) White: For a long time, the colour white has been associated with purity and cleanliness. In some cultures, white is worn in periods of mourning, while in other cultures, white is worn in weddings.
White is also, globally, one of the most popular colours chosen in cars.

White can be tricky to wear, though. You will always have to be mindful of stains.

8) Purple: For a long time, the colour purple was associated with royalty. It was the priciest colour, which is why only the rich could afford clothes in that colour.

Most of the Disney princesses have also been shown to wear purple in some form or another. Sometimes, it's their gowns, or a shawl on their shoulder, or even shells on their body.

The colour purple is used to show how brave and spirited the princess can be.

But the colour purple has also been used to symbolize mysteries. Most mystery games have the colour purple in them, even if they are only on the packaging.

9) Silver: Every cloud has a silver lining. The colour silver has always been associated with grace, hope, and wealth.

Look around you, and you will notice silver being used, even if it is in currency or technology or cars.

Silver is also known to be a protective colour, and some cultures believe it to ward off bad spirits, which is why they use the colour silver in some form or another. In most cases, they use the actual silver metal ornaments in their houses.

10) Yellow: Often known as the happy colour, yellow is supposed to signify brightness and positivity.

However, it is also sometimes seen as a colour of cowardice and sickness.

You will find that as summer approaches, most of the events will use the colour yellow in their signage.

Many brands use the colour yellow in their logos mostly because the colour attracts your attention immediately.

Yellow is also the colour used for taxi cabs and school buses because it cautions the other drivers and grabs their attention when on the road.
