Avoid excepted and stereotypical colours of your industry
Let’s consider some examples: if your company is an HVAC business, meaning, you are in the business of making people feel at just the right temperature when they are at home, regardless of whether it is too cold or too hot outside, you will be inclined to use red and blue as your car wrap colours, correct? Well, this would be a major mistake!
The reason? All other HVAC companies out there had the same idea ages ago, and they all have car wrap colours that are red and blue, on top of their regulation white vans. Do they stand up? No. Do they convey a feeling of trustworthiness in potential clients? Not really, since it is so hard to tell one from the other.
At Toolbox Branding we would advise you to stay away from car wrap colours that are excepted and stereotypical of your industry to the point of becoming bland and irrelevant. No one wants their brand to be bland and irrelevant, that strategy never helped anyone grow a business. For this reason we believe that the car wrap colours that work for your business are those that help you stand out and at the meantime reflect the value that you can bring to your clients.
What colours should you use?
Coming back to our imaginary HVAC company, we would advise to use car wrap colours that play with middle tones, not primary, something that will be unexpected. Also we would advise this potential, fictional client to get away as quickly as possible from having a white van.
We suggest a full coverage car wrap, this is an easy way to elevate your brand immediately. Assuming that the target market of this imaginary HVAC company is middle-class, suburban homeowners, we would pick earthy background tones that will achieve several goals all at once: stand out in traffic and also while parked. Create a feeling of safety on those homeowners that will see the van parked on their neighborhood streets. And finally, provide a background for the car wrap colours that will come from your existing logo.
