What color do you convey?
I have always told you that colors in marketing are important. Different colors convey different messages. I have found a list from the Branding Strategy Insider that describes what each of the colors mean. Bold red and orange colors can make people want to eat. If I am not mistaken, McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, and Krystal all have these bold colors in the logo. Here are what others mean.
Red --excitement, strength, sex, passion, speed, danger.
Blue --(listed as the most popular color) trust, reliability, belonging, coolness.
Yellow --warmth, sunshine, cheer, happiness
Orange -- playfulness, warmth, vibrant
Green -- nature, fresh, cool, growth, abundance
Purple --royal, spirituality, dignity
Pink -- soft, sweet, nurture, security
White --pure, virginal, clean, youthful, mild.
Black --sophistication, elegant, seductive, mystery
Gold -- prestige, expensive
Silver -- prestige, cold, scientific
