I remember I posted an article on color meanings long time ago [ Logo Colors: Use Responsibly] and recently I’ve stumbled on to a nice quick reference table for designers and wanna share it with you. Designed by Paper Leaf Design, this table is a must-have tool for any designer.
Why? Because every color has a meaning, a term, a code, you name it. And when you’re applying a color you have to be careful and responsible for your choise. Using proper color is very important in any design. For example, red color means – fire, danger, love, passion, intense, hyper and so on; blue – means sky, depth, masculine, trust… It’s a very interesting field.
Sometimes we don’t recognize amazing things right under our noses, like color meanings here. Usually taken for granted, colors do mean something.
So here’s the table. Save it. Use it. Read more »

We’re designers right? Meaning that we create something and make it look good. And we have to be responsible for what we’re making, because the same design project may be adored by one person and provoke negative reactions in another. Let’s take Color. One may say, “Hey, come on, dude, you’re taking it way too deep. Who cares? I make one logo design, take money and go spend it.” Well, I’m not gonna be too deep with this, I’ve ran through many pages of information about color and just wanted to make a brief conclusion on what a designer should keep his mind on.
