Make Your Vehicle Wrap POP

Using Color & Contrast for Eye-Catching Results

If you’re a business owner looking for cost-effective local advertising, a well-designed vehicle wrap offers a high return on investment. Wherever your car or delivery truck travels or parks, it’s a roadside billboard—drawing attention to your brand from a continually changing audience. To get the most from your vehicle wrap investment, you need graphics that make an immediate impression. The best vehicle wraps use color and contrast to impact viewers and imprint your message.

Color’s Key Role in Effective Vehicle Wraps

A strong visual cue for humans, color triggers psychological responses that affect memory and spur action. Good advertising design uses these color responses to catch the consumer’s eye and drive home a brand’s message. Take advantage of these colors and the emotional responses they elicit when designing an effective vehicle wrap:

  • Red to stimulate a sense of urgency or appetite
  • Orange to convey warmth, autumn & earthiness
  • Yellow to evoke happiness, fun & sunshine
  • Green to stress health or financial soundness
  • Blue to communicate calm, wisdom & trust

Use Tone & Contrast to Stand Out & Make a Lasting Impression

Color is only one factor in creating a strong vehicle wrap image. The best vehicle graphics clearly identify your brand and share your message. Design elements like contrast, saturation and subtle tone differences can highlight and differentiate key information (think telephone numbers and business names). Rely on our Charlottesville, VA vehicle wrap designers to help you create truck wraps that accomplish your business goals.

Some vinyl car wrap color combos have readability issues. For example, yellow lettering on white vehicles or red lettering on black vehicles is hard to read. Key contact and branding information should stand out against your truck wrap color. To include information without making it the focal point of your wrap (website URL, contractor license number, etc.), consider a subtle color difference. Black matte on black gloss is a trendy option for conveying less critical contact details. Ask your Performance Signs representative for more information about color use for bold and subtle effects.
