PPT Design TIP 2 – What Colours to Choose to Make an Ideal Business Presentation

“People make a subconscious judgment about a product, within 90 seconds of viewing and between 62% and 90% of that assessment is based on colour alone”

 – Diane E. Moir

Make Colour a Trademark!
We have seen many successful firms using colours as their trademark, its audience’s subconscious mind that recognises the brand just by glimpsing a particular shade of a colour. Ex. Purple reminds us of Cadbury, red with yellow subconsciously reminds us of McDonalds. Green with white is for Starbucks. Hence choosing a colour to represent your brand or product is a breakthrough.

How and why to find reasonable colours for Business Presentations
Colours are expressive, indicative and communicative. You can express your product or service in your business presentation just by involving representative colours hence choosing reasonable colours leads you to make an ideal business presentation.

To choose perfect representative colours the professional PPT designers need to understand your business’s lifeblood and find its reflection in colours. The awareness of colours depends on one person’s subconscious mind and understanding, but applies to the mass. There are immense theories and examples about colour theories and physiology, going through it will contribute to your business presentation to make it a perfect representative of your business.

For example,
Colour Red indicates danger and also Red colour is most used colour to express love, finishing line, and target, deadline, emergency. Green colour is a symbol of nature, safety, Wealth, Growth, care, purity and cleanliness; hence the brand Dettol has been using colour green from the very beginning.

Blue colour is often used to demonstrate ocean, water, hugeness, sky, depth etc. The colour brown signifies soil, nature, chocolate, richness, class, wildness. Yellow is to show freshness, sun, beginnings, fruitiness, smartness, light, warm, hot etc.

White is a positive colour which is often associated with Cleanliness, Innocence, Goodness, Calmness, Simplicity, Efficiency, but also too much of white will show Emptiness, Dullness.
