Would you eat a blue pizza?
Would you hire someone who came to an interview dressed inflorescent yellow and green? (I would :))
Would you eat a salad if the leaves were brown?
… So this is just a small example of how nearly every decision you make is significantly influenced by colour. You judge things based on colour.
So, how can colour possibly influence my performance?
It influences it exactly the same way as the questions above… through the subconscious mind.
Through you and others making decisions based on judgments you have learnt through colour. This is why everyone should learn how to speak in colour!!!!
What if colour could influence your next promotion, your energy levels, or your self confidence?
Start with some basic colour questions
- What colours do you love?
- Hate?
- Wear?
- Do you even notice your thoughts around colour?
And if you say no, then think again.
I invite you to imagine just for a few seconds how you judge everything you experience based on colour.
What lunch looks like,
What colour car you drive,
What your first impression is of a new colleague.
Colour plays a significant part of that. Would you approach a fluorescent octopus?
Colour has such powerful messages yet it all goes under the radar…. until now.

“Help me perform better”.
“Help others feel I perform better”:

1: Orange – supports performance with a message that you are motivated and have a good attitude
2: Blue – Supports your performance as it tells people you are determine and reliable
3: Purple – Supports performance as it sends the message that you are wise and that you have experience
