Practical, Colours - OUGD601


Colour theory can be used to gain knowledge of what colours can complement each other and work to create a product that stands out and pleases the eye. This is helpful when creating packaging for a product.

We can also look at what colours are generally associated with what genders:

Pink is usually associated to girls

Blue is usually associated to boys

Yellow is more gender neutral

Looking into these ideas lead to a blog about colours and gender stereotyping. The blog is not fully academic but it does in fact have some good points. Some points quote articles that are a bit dated and maybe not relevant in today's society but it definitely helps to understand societies views on colours within gender stereotyping.
