Red is an interesting color because it increases excitement, activity, aggression, bravery, and youthfulness. People associate the color red with boldness, fire, competition, love, energy, speed, power, youth, and so much more. These emotions are useful when developing a fitness app, but even a different shade of red affects emotions and effectiveness. Lighter shades highlight the energetic qualities of red. Darker shades emphasize power. This makes red a powerful color and for us and an interesting option because Strava, a fitness app focused on running, uses the same colors.

Yellow belongs in the same park as red because they are both warm colors. Yellow boosts emotions such as warmth, cheerfulness, happiness, energy, clarity, and attention, making it a good choice for us to look at. People associate the color or yellow with. Sunshine, creativity, imagination, hope, joy, the future, and spirituality. The various shades affect yellow in different ways, and bright sharp yellows can be tiring and cause headaches. Lighter shades appeal to the happiness aspect, reminding users of summer and the sun. Darker shades, such as gold, add weight. This makes yellow an interesting color option for our app.

Green is on the opposite side of the spectrum from red and yellow. Green is a colder color, which gives it a different effect. Green enhances emotions such as restful, natural, stable, healthy, and prosperity. This can make it a viable option, especially because it gives people a sense of good health. People associate color green with. Freshness, ecology, nature, health, balance, fertility, growth, renewal, healing, money, and good luck. This is interesting because it not only provides people with the feeling of being healthy, but also of being outside in nature, which may help elderly people feel less isolated. However, the shades of green also make people feel different. Pale greens are soothing. Dark greens can improve concentration. However, because we do not rely on concetration, it will have little impact on our project.

Blue is also a colder color, so it takes the same path as green, giving it a more calming effect. However, it is not comparable to green because they influnce other emotions. Blue enhances emotions like calm, security, peace, patience, loyalty, trust, and sadness. It has the same soothing effect as green, but it does not give people the feeling of being healthy. It gives people trust and peace, which are interesting emotions, but they are not beneficial to us. People associate the color blue with stability, protection, trust, loyalty, patience, perseverance, security, peace, loyalty, sadness and depression, and masculinity. This further confirms that blue gives people a sense of security, which is not important for us because we want people to start exercising. Pale blue is cooling and relaxing, but it should not be used inappropriately because it can make people feel sad and depressed. Indigo is useful in situations where fear prevents activity. Indigo may be useful for a cool-down exercise or if someone is afraid of exercising.
