    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
