The Method of Color Design of Perfume Bottle

1. Emotional associations of colors in perfume bottle packaging

Color itself has no life, just a natural physical phenomenon. The reason why people have emotions about colors is because we live in a colorful world. Color will make people have a wide range of associations, such as the shape attached to the color, the various associations produced by various colors, our common red, will specifically associate with apples and fire, and then the psychological effects produced are enthusiasm and liveliness.

The product in this article is a female perfume bottle, so I mainly sort out the design method of the color of the perfume bottle.

(1) Functional requirements of bottle color

The function of the perfume bottle is mainly to hold the perfume, so the color with low lightness should be selected, not only to set off the color of the perfume itself, but also to facilitate the observation of the volume of the perfume.

(2) Women's psychological perception of color

Women's psychology is more soft, but they need to express their individuality, so the color of perfume bottle is mostly color with strong feminine characteristics, such as light pink and other low-purity colors, which cater to women's delicate, motherly love and other characteristics. At the same time, bold and bright colors will be used to express the public personality of women.
