PANTONE 2ND COLORS

How to use color trends in your promotional products

Colors have the power to evoke a psychological response in us, whether we realize it or not. They inspire emotions and memories that range from joyous occasions like birthdays and graduations all the way down through more basic pleasures such as dinner at home with friends on Friday night!

Successful brands know this, and use the power of color to deliver a strong message.
