What does the name acidgreen mean
Colour is one of the most powerful psychological tools and we are often not even aware of it's power. Colour drives emotions and emotions are the most important factor in decision-making.
The largest majority of corporate companies choose red or blue as their corporate colours (eg, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, HP, IBM, etc etc). We wanted to be unique, different and memorable. We wanted to display that we think 'outside the box', that we think before we act, and that we are innovative and unique.
Acid Green is a colour that is vibrant, expansive, energetic, memorable and bold (just like our team).
