Neon Signs are ubiquitous. Not only has its craze surged in the continents of Asia, but its fever can be seen worldwide. From Advertisements to party decor to indoor decor; neon signs have found a place that’s unmissable in our everyday lives. Now that we have established that Neon lights are quite important for you, you might need to consider various aspects like color. What color of neon sign to order? 

This blog is designed specifically to help you make smart color decisions while purchasing a neon light. Investment in neon light can be quite high and you definitely don’t want to be unsatisfied thinking you could have ordered better color. So let’s get started and make this choice an easy one. 

1) Stick to the basics. 

Do you remember the color wheel we used to study in our primary grades? Well, it’s time to apply that knowledge here. The color palette is usually divided into 3 shades. Primary, secondary, and tertiary. You need to pick up shades that are complementing and not too contrasting in nature. The easiest way to do so is to pick adjacent colors. These color combinations are easily seen in nature and won’t create an overwhelming effect in neon signs. 

While choosing more than 2 colors, ensure that one of them creates a dominating effect and the other colors that act as an accent. 

2) Know the purpose. 

The outdoor endorsement or signboard lights need to be attention-capturing. You use the color psychology scheme here. Stick to the brighter hues of red, blue, yellow, and orange. These colors are psychologically meant to capture attention and are often used by advertisers to pop their message. With proper font sizing, your neon sign would be visible even from a long distance. 

Now, comes the point to indoor signs. This is where you consider the decor theme of your house. The wall where the neon sign would go will make for a primary scheme. Use the contrasting and complementing scheme to understand what colors would go well on that wall. Besides, keep in mind the mood you wish to establish. Bright red and oranges could be too overwhelming for home decor. Instead pick the colors like light blues, pinks, yellows, purple and softer shades that create a remarkable presence without being too loud. 

If you are creating neon signs for business settings or cafes/ restaurants or salons, you would again need to consider the mood you wish to establish. Whether it’s the funk mood, a photo wall mood, or a motivational quote to surge positive energy. Use color psychology to understand what colors create a positive, uplifting and cheerful environment. Avoid loud contrast and stick to complementing schemes. 

3) Ask for opinions.

Before placing the final orders, seek opinions. If you have any decor expert or a creative friend in your mind, seek their advice with the colors. If not, we are here to help you.
