When it comes to brand colors why can't you just go with what looks good? Is it really that deep?

Color is an incredibly powerful tool for you brand. It drives emotion, recognition, and action.

If you are picking colors based only on what you like, you are leaving a powerful tool unused.
Here's a quick way to train your eye:
1) What emotion does this trigger?
2) What drivers influence this palette?
3) How do these make people feel about our brand?
Now put it all together, go on a color hunt and reflect on what you see. You can start with this palette and then check out our strategic read.

Our strategic read: This palette works for brands that want every touchpoint to feel bold, alive, and impossible to scroll past. Think workout apparel, lifestyle brands, floral brands, cosmetics, and arts and cultural organizations.

Your best ideas don’t come when you play it safe. You find them by testing, trying, failing and trying again.

Lately I’ve been testing the editing app to give a different angle to the videos I capture on my X5. So I tested the paper cut effect and selected 3 videos with a strong color contrast to create focus.

My bike riding one is clearly my favorite!

Stay curious and try new tools out you’d be surprised at the new angles you may find.

This video is part of my involvement with the Insta360 Creator Capture Program.

Still picking brand colors based on your preference?

Here is something you should know, 95% of purchasing decisions are driven by emotion. Color is the silent language that speaks directly to our hearts.

Color drives emotion, recognition, and action, but without a strategy behind how colors are used, you water down your impact.

Here's a quick way to train your eye: every time you spot a color combination you love, ask yourself three questions:
1. What emotion does this trigger?
2. What action would it drive?
3. How does this make people feel about our brand?

Give it a try with this palette.


Here is our strategic read: This palette is for brands that want every touchpoint to feel like a clear breath of fresh air and a moment of complete clarity. Think fertility and women's health clinics, skincare brands, ocean conservation organizations, and float therapy centers.

The colors, materials and finishes that will define 2028+ already exist. You just haven't seen them yet.

Forecasting color, materials and finishes takes more than instinct. It takes people, process, and months of work. Over the past several months at Color Marketing Group , we ran several CMF ChromaZone® Workshops across 4 global regions—shaped by more than 200 CMG members and professional color forecasters worldwide across 5 languages.

With the contribution and dedication of our Facilitators, Champions, and Steering committees, we're unveiling our 2028+ Color Forecast™ and Global Color Directions.

I will be presenting the 2028+ Asia Pacific Forecast at our Virtual Reveal!
Join us for a head start on the world color forecast for 2028+

REGISTRATION CLOSES AUGUST 26.

Can you feel it?

Summer’s winding down, schedules are shifting, and that back-to-school energy is in the air.

This natural transition is the perfect opportunity to pause, reflect, and sharpen your focus for a strong start Q3.

Here are ways small business owners can embrace this shift:

- Audit Your Goals
Revisit the goals you set earlier this year to see if you are on track. If you feel behind, make a list of your priorities and create a plan for what you want to achieve in the coming months.

- Refresh Your Brand's Story
In nature, seasonal shifts bring change. Have you outgrown your messaging or branded content? Use this season to refine your message and align it with where you—and your audience—are now.

- Plan Time for Rest
Growth starts with clarity, but you need rest to think clearly. Schedule dedicated downtime to recharge your creativity and give your ideas the space to grow. If you burn out now, you won't have the focus to finish the year strong.

Your turn! How are you maintaining focus and balance in your business as the seasons shift? Share your go-to strategies in the comments below.
