Pharmaceutical Color Measurement

Today’s pharmaceutical market is vastly different from the first pills of ancient Egypt, which were small round balls containing medicinal ingredients and mixed with clay or bread. Today’s gel caps boast over 80,000 color combinations, and continuous advancements in technology consistently bring new and colorful coating products to market. Color is the most fundamental part of a drug’s personality with the unique ability to create emotional appeal, communicate functional values and benefits and distinguish one brand from another.

Meeting All Your Challenges

Color continues to play an increasingly important role in the success of any pharmaceutical product, from helping consumers to distinguish between different medicines, to the synaesthetic effects of color and its association with taste and smell, and even color temperature as it relates to the perception of a medicines performance. More and more, unique colors are used to create a brand image and identity that resonates with consumers and differentiates from the competition.
