According to color psychology, color can carry a particular meaning, which is either learned or is biologically inherent. Its influence on habits is automatic: recognizing a color triggers an automatic evaluation in a person, which, in turn, leads to habits that is prompted by the color. Commonly used in the cosmetics industry, these color blends depict a feminine quality. Pastel color blends are calming and peaceful also, although they convey a warmth that is missing in muted color blends. Combinations that bring together conventional colors, colors identified with royalty and wealth, and that are engrained in society, appeal to both wealthier and older sectors of the population. Cool colors can be mixed with warm colors-- in small doses only, owing to the potentially overpowering effect of warm colors. Neutral colors, such as beige, brown, ivory, gray, white, can connect cool and warm colors very effectively. You will likely use warm colors to enthuse and motivate your audience. However, you want to use them judiciously, as these colors can provoke a wide range emotions, from optimism to violence. For this reason, you may tone down a warm color blend with neutral colors, cool colors, or even the lighter spectrum of warm colors, such as pink and pale yellow. Colors that share the qualities of both warm and cool colors can both calm and enthuse. These blends can be used to reach out to both a younger and an older segment of the population.

The success in using color blends also lies in your understanding of the undertone of colors in the society you are trying to reach out to. As an example, in the Western society, red can represent strength, passion and bravery, while it can also be interpreted as dangerous, aggressive and domineering. Interestingly, in the Eastern society, red is associated with wealth, purity and good fortune and, sometimes, divinity. Another example is white and black. In the West, black can be associated with death and mourning, while in the East, white is the color of mourning. The most effective color blends are those that get through to your audience and elicit the response you seek. It involves more than purely aesthetic considerations. Be aware that ethnic interpretations of both color and color blends need to be taken into consideration to ensure that the color blends you customize are successful.
