According to consumer behavior research, about 80% of consumers pay attention to the brand color when shopping which makes it important. The keys that affect color are “hue”, “lightness” and “saturation”. Hue is used to distinguish colors, lightness refers to the brightness of the color, and saturation is the vividness of the color.

One of the key points of creating textured product image is to choose low-saturation and low-brightness colors. Moreover, selecting a color with a high degree of connection with the product makes the picture look harmonious.

In the use of hues, warm colors such as red, orange, and yellow are quite suitable for the catering industry and have the effect of stimulating appetite. The technology and financial industries use cool colors such as green, blue, and purple, which bring stability and trust to consumers.
