Human beings make decisions based on their senses all the time, especially when it comes to online purchases. Of those senses, sight is the biggest decision maker for most. For that reason, the colors you choose for your website design can have the most impact on turning your website visitors into customers.
Color Psychology
In order to gain an understanding of the colors you should use for your website, you need an understanding of how color affects human behavior. Though some are skeptic of the actual effects of colors on human behavior, study after study has shown that colors play a big part in daily decision making.

A study by Satyendra Singh (Department of Administrative Studies, University of Winnipeg, Winnipeg, Canada) published in the Journal of Management History revealed that it only takes 90 seconds for a customer to make a decision regarding a product, and, on average, 75 percent of the time, that decision is based on the color of the product alone. With this information in mind, it's clear that colors have a significant influence on customer's purchasing decisions.

A large part of understanding color psychology is knowing what colors mean. Listed below are some of the most common color associations.

Black
Authority and Power. Popular in the fashion realm because it gives the illusion of thin.

White
Innocence, purity, and sterility. Light, neutral, and provides excellent contrast with darker colors.

Red
Love, passion, rage. Can induce a faster heart rate and breathing, and is a popular color for the food industry.

Blue
Peace, trust. Puts people at ease and makes them more trusting of a company.

Green
Nature, tranquility. Catches attention when used in the right shades and is perfect for environmentally friendly messages.

Yellow
Optimism, overstimulation. It catches attention, but can be unpleasantly overwhelming when used excessively.

Orange
Confidence, impulsiveness. Gives the feeling of haste or impulse, which is perfect for retail websites.

Purple
Luxury, wealth, sophistication. Connotes femininity and romance, though it can appear artificial if paired with the wrong colors.

Brown
Solid, reliable, traditional. Creates an atmosphere of trust and genuineness.

Knowing the meaning of each of these colors and using them correctly in your website design can be the most important step you take to gain customers and retain their loyalty.
