Video Description

Behind every good UI/UX design lies great color choices. But, the impact of color is different between cultures. My red is not the same as your red. Why? Whether it's designing for websites, apps, or any type of user interface, here's how you can choose the best colors for your design - based on science and culture. In this video, I cover how UI color choice depends on culture. Culture impacts the way users think, perceive, and behave. What happens when you combine color psychology and knowledge about culture? Can colors really impact user behavior? And how can I craft the best UIs using good color choices?
