Colors
Colors have an enormous importance in web design. According to Kissmetrics, when you view a color, your eyes communicate with a region of the brain known as the hypothalamus, then, in turn, it will send a signal to the pituitary gland and finally to the thyroid gland. This signals the release of hormones that cause fluctuation in mood, emotion, and resulting in behavior. Interesting, isn't it?
