why not red?

Whenever i give my business card to others, 80% of them will ask the same question :

WHY YELLOW? Why not red or blue? Is it because of your surname? ( Hwang = 黃 )

And my standard answer will be : " No special reason. Just thought that yellow, white and grey are quite a nice color combo. " And i can sense that they are not very satisfied or should i say " disappointed " with my answer.

So, if i ask you " why yellow? ", can you give me a very creative and interesting answer?


I normally don't have any opinion on other people's name card. But there's one type of name card that i really beh tahan :
Name card with his/her picture on it. ( so kiasu kan? ;p )

  1. do you know that red is a cheap color? i bet you know it, whenever there's a sales, what color had been chosen to mark prices? what color used for the word - sales? Red of course, because red easily get attention and it gives impression that it is cheap or something is cheap.

    and blue? doesn't get attention.

    Danny buddy, yellow is a good choice.
