To Contrast Or Not to Contrast? Consumers’ Response to Color Combinations
Consumers respond differently to product combinations dependent on the products’ color and the products’ interrelationship. Contrasting (vs. similar) colors are preferred when the paired products are in an additive relationship (vs. belongingness relationship). Moreover, when the relationship between the combined products matches that between the combined colors, willingness-to-pay is higher.
