Luxury Real Estate Branding: Communicating with Colors

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

There is an entire psychology of color that goes into crafting luxury brands.  This applies to personal and company brands. Certain colors and color combination evoke strong emotions and are also associated with certain things in the minds of your target market.  It is important to become aware of what you are communicating with your brand colors. 

When you think of the color combination, Green and Red, what is the first thing that comes to mind?  If you are like most people Christmas immediately is associated with this color duo.  As a result, you rarely will see this combination used when crafting a brand.  But, there is much more to this brand story when you think outside of the holiday gift box.

By using variations of reds and greens tones you can create some spectacular themes.  If additional colors are added to the theme you can evoke excitement and vibrancy, festive emotions.  Setting the right tone and the right mood is an integral part of communicating your brand’s primary message.

The proportions of the two colors can change the brand message all together, making it more or less sophisticated.  For example, Alitalia uses red very sparingly, but still represents the colors of the Italian flag that has equal portions of green read and white.

The more you tune into colors and how they are used in branding the more you can learn about the art of communicating with colors.  What colors are you using in your personal brand?  Do they accurately represent you and your personal brand’s message?

I love the psychology behind sales and marketing.  I find it fascinating how music, colors, and lighting can affect the buying habits of consumers, and even myself subconsciously.  Its incredible.  Thanks for sharing.

Hi Ron & Alexandra - Great post! When I was travelling to Asia frequently on business, I became aware of the cultural differences associated with colors, sometimes very far off our own color values. That stuff is good to know if you're working with an international clientele.

We use the color blue. It is the most popular color used in marketing and branding. It evokes a sense of dependability, strength and trustworthiness. The color blue also lowers the heart rate creating a sense of calm which is exactly how we want our clients to be when we are in the midst of negotiations.

I love color and when I see the lack of color it is a little turn off for me. It doesn't create interest and make me want to go look further.

Ron and Alexandra- excellent information!  There's so much that goes into branding not the least of which is choosing your colors and realizing the impact they will have on customers.

Alexandra and Ron - the power of colors --- green can be associated with money or envy or environmentally correct or newbie or....

Team that color with another and create an entirely different perception.  

Photograph it well and it will likely evoke an entirely different feeling.  

Interesting topic

Hi there, first of all, love the photo. Color is so powerful, lately, I've been adding jewelry with brighter tones as I tend to wear a lot of black, creams, and amber tones. I think my neutral wardrobe needs a pop of energy and excitement. No mini-skirts for me, instead, thoughtful selections in colorful accessories. Lol.

Wow, this is great information.  And, I guess I somewhat knew some of it, but you always communicate so well.  Thanks for another great lesson!

Ron and Alexandra, I started on your #3 post on this subject, but didn't want to miss anything so I'm going backwards! I love the whole subject of how color translates a "feeling" to the eye of the beholder. Very cool.

Great post. You have an interesting approach to branding, I totally agree with your concept.  Advertisers spend plenty of money to find out what the public reacts to best. We should follow their lead.
