Our brain can process visual information 60,000 times faster than text. To put this point in perspective, your mind instantly connects the green color with prosperity, wealth, and life. Similarly, the white color symbolizes pristineness. Not choosing the right color scheme can mess up with the purpose of the email and plummet the subscriber engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through this blog, we will try to understand the <a href=\"https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/right-colors-boost-email-engagement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">different types of color combinations<\/a> you can use in your emails for best results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start by understanding what the different colors signify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Red<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love, romance, boldness, energy, hunger, excitement, and danger<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Green<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Health, nature, wealth, prosperity, and growth or abundance in any form<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Blue<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calmness, trust, strength, and reliability<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Orange<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friendliness, cheerfulness, confidence, and creativity<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Yellow<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happiness, warmth, and optimism<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. Black<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strength, power, luxury, and sophistication<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7. White<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Purity, cleanliness, and ease of use<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: The information shared above is a broader view of how colors are perceived by most people.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The colors can convey different feelings based on the cultural beliefs and ethnicity. As an instance: Black stands for mourning in the West, while in the East, white represents the same. In Brazil, purple is the color of mourning. On the other hand, Japan considers purple as the color of wealth. China considers red to be the color of good luck and happiness. However, it can also stand for war and unpleasant things in other cultures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Various Color Schemes and Their Usage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The color schemes you decide will depend on their position in the color wheel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"519\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/color-wheel.png\" alt=\"Color wheel\" class=\"wp-image-32641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/color-wheel.png 519w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/color-wheel-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/color-wheel-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/color-wheel-140x140.png 140w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/color-wheel-24x24.png 24w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/color-wheel-48x48.png 48w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/color-wheel-96x96.png 96w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 519px) 100vw, 519px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The different types of color schemes for emails include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.

Triadic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When emails have three colors placed at equal distance in the color wheel, it is known as a triadic color scheme. Generally, it uses colors that are almost opposite to each other in the color wheel. If you want to strike the perfect balance between warm and cool colors, this is the best choice for you. You can either use two warm colors with one cold color or two cold colors with a warm shade.<br \/><br \/>It reinforces the message to be conveyed by putting in focus the dominant color. The pro-tip is to use the dominant color wherever you want to bring the subscriber\u2019s attention. It can be your headline, CTA buttons, or an offer you wish to highlight in the email.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/triadic-color-example.png\" alt=\"triadic color scheme- email\" class=\"wp-image-32662\" width=\"510\" height=\"3533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/triadic-color-example.png 680w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/triadic-color-example-148x1024.png 148w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/triadic-color-example-20x140.png 20w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/triadic-color-example-624x4322.png 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/reallygoodemails.com\/emails\/mike-learn-to-play-piano-fabric-design-for-illustrators-and-more\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Image source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from these six types of color combinations, there are some additional points you must remember while laying out your email design.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. <strong>Use different colors to organize the content<\/strong><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most subscribers skim or scan through your emails rather than reading them line by line. Organizing the email content with small color tabs or labels can make the reader\u2019s task simpler and convey the message faster. And you know the best part? You don\u2019t need to design these sections separately. Just use an HTML background color to make the tabs and break down the content. You can also make the headers (and footers) more attractive with background colors. Rather than using an image, you can make these sections more prominent with the help of background colors. This technique works better as it does not create any rendering issues even if the images are blocked in the email client.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look at this monochromatic email design with gradients by Native. They have created labels of different colors to show the huge range of their products. Also, see how they have separated the footer by designing it in gray color.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/monochromatic-email-design-with-gradients.png\" alt=\"monochromatic email design with gradients\" class=\"wp-image-32656\" width=\"510\" height=\"2250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/monochromatic-email-design-with-gradients.png 680w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/monochromatic-email-design-with-gradients-68x300.png 68w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/monochromatic-email-design-with-gradients-232x1024.png 232w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/monochromatic-email-design-with-gradients-348x1536.png 348w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/monochromatic-email-design-with-gradients-464x2048.png 464w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/monochromatic-email-design-with-gradients-32x140.png 32w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/monochromatic-email-design-with-gradients-624x2753.png 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/reallygoodemails.com\/emails\/youve-earned-a-new-rewards-status-cucumber-connoisseur\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Image source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>2. <strong>Enliven the white space<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your email has too much white space which makes the email look empty, splash some colors or vector images. It will make the emails look visually rich and get you some bonus points for readability. But make sure that you do not end up cluttering the otherwise neat email design.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. <strong>Add some colors to the email text<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make the email links blue. Sounds so clich\u00e9d, right? Instead, you can make the links match your brand color or some other color that matches the overall look of the email. Apart from the links, you can even paint the text with different colors. Black text over white background is a best practice but you can always experiment with new ideas. For example: If you have a baby pink background, you can have a dark blue or navy blue color in the font face. You only need to make sure that the background color and the foreground contrast each other without hampering the accessibility criteria.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look at this email by Athletic Brewing Company in which they have used a yellow font color in navy blue background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/yellow-font-color-in-navy-blue-background-email.png\" alt=\"yellow font color in navy blue background- email design\" class=\"wp-image-32660\" width=\"510\" height=\"3224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/yellow-font-color-in-navy-blue-background-email.png 680w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/yellow-font-color-in-navy-blue-background-email-162x1024.png 162w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/yellow-font-color-in-navy-blue-background-email-243x1536.png 243w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/yellow-font-color-in-navy-blue-background-email-324x2048.png 324w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/yellow-font-color-in-navy-blue-background-email-22x140.png 22w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/yellow-font-color-in-navy-blue-background-email-624x3944.png 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/reallygoodemails.com\/emails\/your-summer-sidekick-upside-dawn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Image source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>4. <strong>Make the CTAs as easily noticeable as possible<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose the right colors for the CTA as it will decide whether the user will click through or not. You might have to test different colors and see what works best for your brand. Red, green, yellow, blue, and black are some of the most commonly used colors for CTA buttons. While black might work for a travel company, yellow would work better for a SaaS company. It all depends on how your audience perceives these color combinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a look at this email by Athletic Brewing Company. It separates the different sections of the email with different colors. The CTA buttons are designed in the contrasting colors, accordingly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Email-CTA-button-in-contarsting-color.png\" alt=\"Email CTA button in contrasting color\" class=\"wp-image-32661\" width=\"510\" height=\"2855\" srcset=\"https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Email-CTA-button-in-contarsting-color.png 680w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Email-CTA-button-in-contarsting-color-183x1024.png 183w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Email-CTA-button-in-contarsting-color-366x2048.png 366w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Email-CTA-button-in-contarsting-color-25x140.png 25w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Email-CTA-button-in-contarsting-color-624x3493.png 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/reallygoodemails.com\/emails\/ready-for-this-red-ale\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Image source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wrapping Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The colors and visuals of your emails define the brand personality and strengthen the value proposition.
