I found this bit of data on a direct marketing oriented web site - unfortunately I forgot to note which one when I printed it off!  But I did find some of these facts interesting...

With 25 to 35 year-old readers, color is an expectation in advertising.


Psychologists state that color impression can account for 60% of the acceptance or rejection of that product or service.

Advertisers are perceived more credible with ads that have color photos.


Consumer responses are 30% to 60% higher when 4-color is used. Using 4-color increases the chances that advertising will be read.
