Why Color Influences Decisions
Color triggers immediate emotional responses. In UX, the palette you choose can communicate trust, urgency, or delight before a single word is read.
Emotional Associations

Cultural Considerations
Meanings vary by culture. Designers working globally should validate palettes with local research to avoid conflicting symbolism.
