Car Wraps Utilizing Superhero Colors

By Rob Sutter


If there's one thing that I've noticed about superheroes, it's that they all have their own distinctive shades of color. Some of the might be brighter than others but we usually assign colors to them based on what they wear. It's amazing how much impact those kinds of hues can have and I believe that car wraps can incorporate them just as well. In fact, I would recommend that more wraps use them because of how smart the actual color schemes are.

Let's say that you display a certain set of colors to someone who claims to be a superhero fan. You may be surprised by how quickly they name off a character that shares those sorts of hues because they have become so iconic in the past. For example, Iron Man is commonly seen sporting red and gold, meaning that the mind is instantly going to gravitate towards that particular personality. It's the same as Batman wearing black for as long as he has.

If you want to talk about superheroes that people recognize, I think anyone should recall Batman and his heavily black attires. His outfits have consisted of this one color most of the time but I remember that there was a time when yellow was incorporated in some instances so that the bat emblem on his chest could stand out. I didn't think that taking it out was the right decision because it allowed the suit to pop. However, it's still recognizable for those who pride themselves on being veteran Batman followers.

It's clear that car wraps can take up these kinds of colors but there many others which can be implemented. How many people are going to look at blue, red, and instances of yellow without saying, "hey, those are Superman's colors?" Some schemes are more recognizable than others and this is one that I believe companies which produce wraps like JMR Graphics would be able to recognize. It almost seems like the supply of colors on this matter do not have limits.

Car wraps have proven themselves to be useful and there are reasons for it, color being amongst them. While there are many others to cite, I feel like having the ideal pairings and schemes can help bring a design. People who might not have paid attention to a design otherwise can now grant it ample attention thanks to smart hue choices. If you don't keep this in mind, however, then it's possible that you're not going to be able to work well in this regard.
