Did you know that the colors you use in your brand relay a specific message to your audience about the type of person you are, the type of business you’re building, and the type of clients you attract? Not only that, but each color even has a personality type that they’re most aligned with.

I’ve studied branding and brand psychology for over a decade. So, today I’m here to break it down for you and give you some insight into what your brand colors say about you. Though the connections people make based on colors are usually subconscious, knowing the basics of color psychology can help you send the right message to your potential clients through your visual branding. 

If you're a coach, author, speaker, healer or any type of service-based entrepreneur, your clients actually aren't investing in your service. They're investing in a relationship with YOU! They choose to work with you because they like you, they resonate with what you stand for, and they want your personal guidance to help them solve their problem. And the only way they'll know if they want this relationship in the first place, is if you bring more of YOU into your brand – which is what we’re going to do today with color psychology and brand colors!
