The Small Business Owner's Guide to Successful Color Combinations

Posted 40 weeks ago (August 11, 2011 at 3:23 PM) in Content

Over at the COLOURlovers Business Blog, we recently dove into the topic of making smart color choices. While the post itself focuses on small business owners, we figured folks here at the Rise blog might find something useful for themselves. 

Give it a read and let us know what you think!


There are some colors, when paired together, that just look good. They make sense, they match. There are also those colors which, put side by side, make your eyes burn. Ok, maybe not actually burn, but you know what I mean.

The question is: why? Why do certain color combinations look serene or exciting and others garish or completely boring? I want to explore the why of color combinations, some of the science and some of the psychology and how you, as a business person, can put those colors to work for you.


Feel free to read the rest of the post here. While you’re there, if you saw fit to leave us some love in the form of comments, we’d be most appreciative.
