According to research by the <b>Color Psychology Institute<\/b>, the human brain reacts to color within the first 90 seconds, and 62-90% of initial product assessments are based on color. At <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/dps.media\/en\/\" title=\"DPS\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"355\">DPS<\/a>, we often apply the 60-30-10 rule, in which 60% is the main color, 30% is the secondary color, and 10% is the accent color.
