Depending on where you are marketing your product/service, you’ll have to adapt to the local culture. Colours are part of the culture. I’m currently working on a real estate project in Shanghai where the dominant colour is red, since Chinese people consider it is the most auspicious colour, symbol of luck and joy. Thus, you can easily see how red is blatantly over-represented in advertising in China. So for us, since our approach was to be different, we choose not to use any red, only blue, symbolising vitality.
