What Colors to Use on LED Displays?

When it comes to LED billboards, what you say matters — but *how it looks* can make or break the impact. One of the most powerful tools in visual marketing is color psychology. The colors you choose for your LED display can  influence decision-making and even drive customers straight to your door.

Here’s how to pick colors that speak louder than words:

​🔴 Red – Energy & Urgency

Red is bold, urgent, and eye-catching. It’s great for:

•  Sales promotions
•  Flash deals
•  Food and beverage ads

But be careful, too much red can feel aggressive. Use it for headlines, not the whole background.

🟠 Orange – Friendly & Fun

Orange gives off excitement and creativity. It’s perfect for:

•  Youth brands
•  Cafés and eateries
•  Limited-time offers

It draws attention like red but feels less intense, more welcoming.

​🟡 Yellow – Optimistic & Happy

Yellow is all about positivity and warmth. It works best for:

•  Holiday campaigns
•  Children’s services
•  Local event promotions

Too much yellow can be hard to read, so combine it with a dark contrasting font.

Purple signals quality, mystery, and elegance. It works for:

•  Beauty and skincare
•  Boutique products
•  Exclusive offers

It’s not as common on billboards — which makes it a great choice to stand out.

​⚫️ Black – Bold & Elegant

Black is powerful, high-end, and modern. It’s perfect for:

•  Fashion
•  Luxury brands
•  Minimalist ads

Just make sure your text and visuals pop against it. Use white or bright colours as contrast.
