There are many factors to consider why we buy some brands over another: necessity and affordability. The decision to buy an item has a lot to do with what we can see touch or feel (sound, smell, texture), the most important of which is color.
Kissmetrics explains how the power of color influences why consumers would prefer some items over another.
Color and Marketing When marketing new products it is crucial to consider that consumers place appearance and color above other factors when shopping. About 85% of shoppers place color as a primary reason for why they buy a particular product. (Visual appearance-93%; Texture-6%; Sound/smell-1%)
Color and branding Color increases brand recognition by 80%. Brand recognition directly links to consumer confidence.
