About

Customer Colour Canvas is a relaxed, creative way to look at your customers with fresh eyes. Each team receives a 3D object to use as its canvas, along with black, white and primary-colored paints.

The session starts with the basics of contrast, artistic style and color theory, and a look at how colors affect our emotions.

Teams then agree on a customer profile and decide how to express it in color. They choose an artistic style, sketch a plan and bring their 3D object to life with paint. The profile gives every artistic choice a clear purpose.

When the pieces are done, everyone walks the room gallery-style, viewing each artwork and discussing the customer it represents. Different teams often picture the same type of customer in surprisingly different ways.

Learning outcomes

Participants discover the link between color and emotion and how it shapes the way people feel about a product or brand. The same color can mean very different things to different people.

Customer profiling becomes light-hearted and full of discussion, as teams debate who their customer really is and what matters to them. Questions like 'what does our customer value most?' lead to lively, useful debate.

Creativity takes over as teams translate a personality into colors and styles, keeping the conversation focused and fun.

To succeed, team members must listen to each other, respect different opinions and agree on a direction within a set time. Those same skills help teams align on customers and priorities at work, and many groups bring these conversations straight into their next planning meeting.
