Colors That Sell?

    Do you prefer any specific colors for your website if you are promoting a product?

    I always like blue because it is relaxing, but red creates a feeling of urgency.

    Whats your take?

    You have to choose the colors for your website that proved to be converting.

    It's depend on what's topics you're in and your target audience as well.

    Business / make money website= Blue

    Female / beauty website= Pink

    Healthy related website= green, red, orange

    Hope this may help you.

    yeah, that was what I was looking for.

    but what about insurance? thats actually my question?

    I am most tempted to go with RED.

    For Insurance, I think should be the light and professional feels colors. such as light blue, dark green with blue, yellow.

    Red??? it's a bit of bloody feels for insurance website. Quite terrible...

    If you are promoting a related product. Try to match the similarity of the theme & feel with the product's website you are promoting. It will help your conversion too as based on my previous test and experience.

    For insurance, i would prefer to have it in black and white or gray (especially for backgrounds) for simplicity and professionalism aspect. Just an opinion..:)
