Abstract Značaj boje utjecao je na komunikaciju društva, kultura i pojedinca. Boja je oduvijek izazivala fascinaciju društva, a tijekom vremena razvija se uporište značaja boje koje dovodi do razvoja teorija i tumačenja utjecaja boje na čovjeka i znanost. Temelji svake kulture su jezik, religija, i tradicija te su važni u razumijevanju kulture. U interkulturalnoj komunikaciji bitno je usmjeriti pažnju na pravilno usmjeravanje poruke kada se boja plasira na strano tržište u obliku proizvoda ili usluge, tada je bitna simbolika i konotacija boje. Nadalje, simboli nas usmjeravaju i komuniciraju umjesto riječi, a razlikuju od kulture do kulture. Simbolika boje razlikuje se u kulturi prema naučenome znanju kulturalnih vrijednosti, te biološkim temeljima koji utječu na percepciju boje. Upravo vizualne komunikacije koje su dio neverbalne komunikacije, nastoje zaobići jezičnu barijeru komuniciranja kroz vizualni dojam, elementima slikom i bojom. Primjena boje prisutna je u svemu što nas okružuje, od prirode do svih segmenata života od samih početaka. One su značajne u našim životima radi asocijacije značaja, te utjecaja na nas dok hodamo ulicom i ugledamo simbol koji značenjem boja potiče apetit ili drugi koncept negativnog ili pozitivnog utjecaja. Utjecaj boje na čovjekovu percepciju objašnjava psihologija. Povezivanjem boje s emocijama stvara se pozitivna ili negativna percepcija boje, koja ovisi o iskustvu pojedinca i naučenim vrijednostima kulture pripadnika iste. Analizom značaja boje u komunikaciji, objašnjen je utjecaj na pojedinca i sklonost prema boji kroz kulturološki, psihološki i marketinški aspekt, te dominantnu kulturu i način na koji utječe na svijest za preferenciju boje. Utjecaj dominantne kulture integrirao se u sfere boje i tako prikazuje utjecaj trenda koji se slijedi kao popularno mišljenje kulture. Dok jedne kulture ne podliježu trendu i vrijednostima strane kulture kao na primjer Istočne zemlje, druge slijede i preuzimaju vrijednosti strane kulture i tako utječu na povezivanje boje asocijacijom kroz emocionalno iskustvo pojedinca tijekom vremena. Psihološki aspekt objašnjava i pokazuje da asocijativna mreža određuje značenje boje individualnim doživljajem kod pojedinca, te tako tvori sklonost ili odbojnost prema određenoj boji.
Abstract (english) Significance of colors had an influence on communication in society, culture and individuals. Color has always aroused the fascination of society, and over time stronghold of color significance develops that leads to the development of theories and interpretations of the impact of color on man and science. Foundations of every culture are language, religion and tradition, and they're important in understanding of a culture. During intercultural communication, it's important to focus on the correct direction of the message when the color is placed on a foreign market in the form of a product or service, as well as the importance of the symbolism and connotation of color. Furthermore, symbols are guiding us and communicating instead of words, and vary from culture to culture. The symbolism of color differs in culture according to the learned knowledge of cultural values, and the biological foundations that affect the perception of color. It's the visual communications that are part of non-verbal communication which try to bypass the language barrier of communication through the visual impression, the elements of image and color. The application of color is present in everything that surrounds us, from nature to all segments of life from the very beginning. They are significant in our lives because of the association of meaning, and the influence on us as we walk down the street and see a symbol that, by the meaning of colors, stimulates appetite or another concept of negative or positive influence. The influence of color on human perception is explained by psychology. By connecting color with emotions, a positive or negative perception of color is created, which depends on the experience of the individual and the learned values of the culture of its members. The analysis of the importance of color in communication explains the impact on the individual and the affinity for color through the cultural, psychological and marketing aspect, as well as the dominant culture and the way it affects the awareness for color preference. While some cultures are not subject to the trend and values of a foreign culture such as Eastern countries, others follow and take over the values of a foreign culture and thus influence the association of color by association through an individual’s emotional experience over time. The psychological aspect explains and shows that the associative network determines the meaning of color by an individual's experience, and thus creates a tendency or aversion to a particular color.
