Why Do Political Campaigns Use Colors So Much?

Colors help people remember and feel about candidates. Think of how your favorite team has a color, like blue for the Yankees or red for the Bulls. In politics, red and blue are used to make people think about what each side stands for. A candidate might wear red to look strong or blue to seem trustworthy. It’s like having a logo that makes people feel connected.
