Week 11: Choose (or Confirm) Your Brand Colours

Digital Success Weekly gives you one simple step to move your online presence forward, in 30 minutes or less.

This week is about your brand colours. They might seem like a small detail. But they shape how people feel about your business before they read a single word.

What This Focus Is Really About

Think of your brand colours as a first impression that never changes.

Every time someone sees your website, your social media, or your emails... your colours are there. They tell a story about who you are before you say anything.

Why This Matters

1. Colours create feelings

Colours affect how people feel without them realizing it. Blue often feels trustworthy and professional. Green feels fresh and natural. Orange feels energetic and approachable. The colours you choose send a message.

2. Consistency builds recognition

When you use the same colours everywhere, people start to recognize your brand. That recognition builds trust over time.

3. Without a set palette, things get messy

If you're picking different colours for every post or page, your brand starts to look scattered. A simple, consistent palette ties everything together.

4. You don't need many colours

Two or three colours is plenty. A primary colour, a secondary colour, and a neutral (like white or grey) is all most small businesses need.

What a Simple Brand Colour Palette Looks Like

• A primary colour (your main brand colour, used most often)

• A secondary colour (used for accents, buttons, or highlights)

• A neutral (white, light grey, or black for backgrounds and text)

A Few Tips to Keep in Mind

• Choose colours you genuinely like. You'll be looking at them a lot.

• Make sure there's enough contrast between your text and background

• Use a free tool like Coolors.co to explore colour combinations

• Write down your colour hex codes so you can use them consistently

Your Action Step

Look at your website and social media. Ask yourself:

• "Am I using consistent colours across everything?"

• "Do my colours reflect the feel I want for my business?"

• "Do I know my exact colour codes?"

If not, take 30 minutes this week to choose (or confirm) your brand colours and write them down somewhere you can find them.

You don't need a complicated colour system. You just need colours you love that you use consistently.
