    How has color ever been used for anything other than trying to make your product look more appealing?

      Looking pretty is probably top of the list but there is also:

      • hazard labelling
      • visibility (i.e. don’t buy green-handled garden tools, unless you want to lose them every time you put them down)
      • clearly showing where the buttons are, or marking different sections of an object
      • helping to locate different, very similar things (imagine if all your USB sticks were the same colour)
      • cost of different coloured materials
      • individual identity of object “my drill is turquoise, your drill is yellow”
      • to warn off predators

      I mean, maybe if your product is something where the color is part of the function, like paint or such
