Colour Campaign Video Distribution Framework

Social video strategy using colour variations and psychology to multiply reach

A content distribution tactic based on testing 600 videos that multiplies reach by reposting the same video in multiple colour variations. It leverages colour psychology to target different emotional reactions and viewer segments, providing specific colour pairings for different industry niches.

How it works

Tested 600 videos on two campaigns: single-colour version got 9k views; 7 colour variations got 4.5M total views (152x more reach, author says 17x more views per post). Claim: different colours bring different audience types — red: angry people; blue: logical people; green: calm people; yellow: happy people; pink: motivated people. Their 'colour campaigns' segment by emotion: negative/angry content uses red text or background; thought-provoking slideshows use blue background and pics; positive/happy content uses yellow + pink clips. Per-vertical prescriptions: business influencers — blue, black, red (smart, motivated); software brands — blue, green, pink (sophistication and logic); health brands — pink, yellow (happiness and activity). Approach: post thousands of proven viral templates daily in every colour/emotion variant and test all of them rather than one version.
