Experienced exhibitors have an in-depth grasp on how color used within your banners induce specific responses from show attendees for decades. They discovered long ago that different hues could be employed to influence how prospects and customers perceived them. Blues gave them an air of authority while reds prompted action. Greens raised attendees' comfort level while yellows increased their agitation.Here are 3 things to consider when you choose your next colors:

Effects of Color on Mood

Blue has a calming effect on people. It inspires and encourages trust. When folks see colorful banner stands and displays with splashes of blue, they're more inclined to perceive the exhibitor as an authority.

Red has the opposite effect, at least in terms of the viewer's temperament. It promotes excitability and stimulates a sense of urgency. It doesn't directly convey an air of authority, but nonetheless is strong enough to spur action.

Yellow is associated with good health and well-being. That might seem to be an advantage at trade shows, where you want prospects to form a positive impression of your brand. But due to yellow's vibrancy, it's easy to overuse and drive people away.

Green, like blue, is relaxing. Attendees who see it will feel comfortable, but not driven to take any particular action, as with red. Having said that, your booth staff can take advantage of green's calming effect by qualifying attendees without seeming pushy.
