PROJECT ORANGE
Revitalizing Identity Through Vibrant Color Design
Why Orange?
Orange is the color of energy, creativity, and enthusiasm. Sitting perfectly between the physical power of red and the cheerful happiness of yellow, it represents balance and warmth. In design, it is used to draw attention without being as aggressive as red.
Psychological Attributes
Encourages activity, socialization, and conversation.
Stimulates appetite, often used in food industries.
Associated with affordability and good value propositions.
Represents youthfulness, adventure, and risk-taking.
CTA Conversion by Color
Data suggests that Orange is highly effective for 'Call to Action' buttons compared to neutral colors, due to high visibility and contrast.
Defining the Brand Palette
Our project utilizes a monochromatic scheme based on 'International Orange'. This ensures distinct visibility in both digital and physical environments. The primary hex code is #FF4F00, supported by softer shades like 'Tangerine' #F28500 and deeper tones like 'Burnt Orange' #CC5500.
Orange is the happiest color.
