Branding Products with Color

It is clear to see that we live in a colorful world. We have created spaces and products that are filled with a wide array of colors. Traditionally, as pigments were harder to make, the world had less color. Building weren't painted and not many products were either. Things were built and bought for practical reasons, but as color pigmentation become easier and more accessible the lack of color changed.

In modern times color is not only used to make things pretty, but it is also used as a way to brand and sell products.
