Stop using the color RED on your website.

Colors affect purchases.

People associate the color red with stop. Such as a stop light or a stop sign.

And when people use that color for their call to action buttons, we typically see conversion rates drop by 8 to 13%.

Instead, here are some other colors to try.

Yellow – the color is optimistic and youthful. Typically used to grab the attention of a window shopper.

Blue – creates a sensation of trust and security. Often used by banks and businesses.

Green – is typically associated with wealth and is one of the easiest colors for the eye to process. It’s used to create a sense of relaxation.

Orange – this color is typically aggressive. It’s used for call-to-action buttons like “subscribe”. Typically, because the color pops on a page.

Pink – it’s romantic and in many cases, it is used to market products to women.

Black – it’s powerful and sleek. Typically used to market luxury products. Think Amex black card.

Purple – used to soothe and calm. You see it used with a lot of anti-aging and beauty products.

Colors can affect your conversion rates in both a positive and a negative way.

Use the right color for the right time and place.
