Most Persuasive Color In Your Wardrobe? | Using Color To Influence Persuade & Create Trust

About this video

Centeno presents research on how clothing color affects perception and persuasion. He discusses a 2014 study showing that wearing red makes people perceive you as more accurate and persuasive, and he explains how to strategically incorporate red into professional presentations and sales situations without overdoing it.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues that red clothing is perceived as more persuasive and accurate than other colors, supported by a 2014 Psychology & Marketing journal study comparing identical presentations in different colored sweaters
• Centeno recommends using red strategically in professional contexts—such as a tie, pocket square, or sweater—rather than wearing a full red suit, which he contends would have a negative effect
• Centeno explains that red’s power comes from its historical association with potency and power, and that understanding the science behind color choices allows you to dress with confidence and achieve your goals
