Why Famous Brand Choose These Colors for Their Brand

For some brands, their coloring can be as iconic as their logo or even their name.

But do you know why Coca-Cola chose red and white or why the Starbucks Siren is green?

Test your knowledge with our quiz.

The famous Coca-Cola red-and-white branding is recognized the world around.

Q: Do you know why Coca-Cola first used its famous red-and-white branding?

A: We had to get Coke to delve deep into its archives for this one.


Coca-Cola told us that beginning in the mid-1890s, the company began painting its syrup barrels red so that tax agents could easily tell them apart from alcohol during transport.

The company even named its first magazine "The Red Barrel" in 1924.

Q: Why does the Financial Times newspaper and website use salmon pink coloring?

A: The newspaper switched coloring in 1893 to differentiate from its City of London financial-news rival, the Financial News.

Q: Google has a rainbow-colored logo. Why?

A: The colors implied playfulness, particularly the order of the colors.

Ruth Kedar, the graphic designer who developed the logo, told Wired: "We ended up with the primary colors, but instead of having the pattern go in order, we put a secondary color on the L, which brought back the idea that Google doesn't follow the rules."

Q: Why is BMW's logo blue and white?

A: The popular rumor is that the logo is meant to represent a propeller blade cutting through a blue sky.

Wrong! The quadrants represent the colors of the Bavarian Free State.

Q: Cadbury is so proud of its purple branding, it has fought (and lost) several cases in the courts to trademark the color. But why purple?

A: The color was first introduced as a tribute to Queen Victoria, in the early 20th century. Purple was Queen Victoria's favorite color.

Q: Why is Facebook's logo blue?

A: Because its founder is red-green color-blind. Mark Zuckerberg told The New Yorker "Blue is the richest color for me — I can see all of blue."

Q: Why is Shell's logo bright yellow and red?

A: When the Shell Company of California first started building service stations in 1915, it chose bright colors to stand out against its competitors.

Red and yellow were chosen due to the state's strong Spanish connections.

Q: Why are UPS trucks brown?

A: UPS has used the "Pullman brown" for its trucks since 1916.

UPS' former vice president of advertising and public relations said "it was the epitome of luxury and class at the time."

Q: Why did Tiffany choose its famous, trademarked robin egg blue branding?

A: The color, known as Tiffany Blue, was selected by the company's founder, Charles Lewis Tiffany, for the first cover of its "Blue Book," an annual collection of jewels first published in 1845.

Tiffany & Co. says it may have been chosen due to the popularity of the turquoise gemstone in 19th-century jewelry, or because it was a favorite for Victorian brides who gave attendees dove-shaped turquoise brooches as wedding trinkets.

Q: Starbucks used to have a brown logo. So why did it switch to green?

A: Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz opened up his own espresso cafe called Il Giornale when he left the business briefly after he failed to convince Starbucks' owners to introduce espresso to the menu.

In 1987 the original owners of Starbucks sold the business to Schultz, who introduced his espresso concept.

The new logo was a mix of the Starbucks siren and Il Giornale's "more affirming green," Schultz said.

Q: What's the origin of Yahoo's purple color?

A: According to Fast Company, Yahoo cofounder David Filo went out to buy some paint to redo the walls of their shabby office around 1995.

There are two differing versions of the story. One is that Filo noticed a nearby store had a huge amount of cut-price lavender paint.

The other is that he thought the paint was actually gray, but under the harsh fluorescent light in the office it looked purple.

Q: Why did Land Rover opt for green in its logo?

A: There's a myth that the color harks back to its racing years, when British racing cars would be green, while Italians would race in red.

But the brand has never really raced. A Land Rover spokeswoman told Business Insider green was chosen because that was the chosen color of the vehicle.

The logo was originally light green with red letters, then light green to yellow, then dark green to yellow.

How to Know Your Power Bank Are Good Quality

We all know that the power bank said Capacity cannot charge your smart phone simple divided your cell phone battery power.

Every power bank have a conversion rate. High end power banks boast to have 90% power conversion rate. Actually, mostly it works between 80-90% conversion rate. The 90% conversion rate of an mobile power bank is the experimental data.

Let find out this result.

First, we need to know the 3 physics factor: voltage,  current, energy conservation law.

Second, conver the power bank capacity into large cell phone battery capacity. Like a bucket with water. From Small Size one to big size one. The power bank battery is 3.7V, while the cell phone device battery is 5V, so let's convert.

Take a example, we have a 3350mAh power bank in hand, (many brand like Anker, Poweradd,you could easily find this kind power bank on Amazon ), it is small power bank, can it be really stands good for you? Let know how it charge your cell phone.

3350mAh x 3.7V = 12.395WH

So when conver to 5V it is 12.395Wh / 5V = 2479mAh

Third, let assume, it is perfect 100% conversion rate, this kind power bank it only has 2479mAh, it could only charge your iphone less 1.5times. 

Conclusion, we all knows that, energy losing during charging your cell phone, no way for charging without lossness.

Even though, most brand boast their power bank have a high conversion rate to 90%. But we should keep in mind, they just cheat us. It is an experimental data, useless in actual using.

So, where the consuming lead to power bank low conversion rate be so low?

1) The power bank capacity lost. Say, you put a full bucket water, it will vaporizing, water will be less. The power bank vaporizing fast and more obviously.

2) During charging, the product it self heating, capacity lost.

3) Power Bank Inside IC and charing cable consuming, capacity lost.

Actually, this 3 factor, it will almost consume 10% of the total capacity.

So during our using. the power bank capacity will be only around 80%.

Till now, we could understand, when will buy the power bank. It advertised power bank could charging the iphone 1.5times. while during our using, it could just chaarging 1 times, and a little bit capacity left. At that moment you should go to charging your power bank. 

Do not drain your power bank juice total clear, at the last moment, the power bank voltage sharp jump down, it does harm to your power bank.

So we just keep in mind, acutal power bank conversion rate is about 80% in real life using.
