Colors for Buttons

https://www.convertize.com/call-to-action-button/ The variety of colours chosen by successful eCommerce websites demonstrates an important point: there is no “best” colour for a Call To Action. Instead, the most successful websites incorporate the following considerations into their button design:
  • Brand colours – the colour you choose should complement those already on the page
  • Contrast – your button should stand out
  • Tone – buttons should match the tone of your page, and the offer it describes
  • Industry – your design should not deviate too far from your customers’ expectations
In other words, the most important factor is context. Not only does the colour have to meet these criteria, but the other aspects of your Call To Action button are equally dependent on content. Your copy should be appropriate to the market, audience and branding of your products. The placement of your button is critical. It should be surrounded by an appropriate amount of empty space, but needs the elements surrounding it to give it context. A Call To Action is only one part of a successful Conversion Rate Optimization strategy. In order to ensure your eCommerce conversion rate stays competitive, you should continue to define your Value Proposition and incorporate your CTA button within persuasive content.
