For example, many hospital applications will feature primary white with accents of red, blue, green, etc. I was wondering if there is evidence of anything like that in regards to geographical location. A classic example is John Deere US. | |
| Mar 27, 2017 at 19:26 | comment | added | Levi J | Well, I don't have a particular product in mind, but just wanted to give an example. What made me think of this question was that I am designing my own website to showcase my resume, projects, hobbies, etc. and being from the midwest, I wanted to choose a color scheme that appealed to people from this area (and myself). I was thinking of something with shades of green, brown, etc. that highlight the agricultural community | |

However there may be some examples. This is a very interesting question, by the way. Could you shed a bit of light on the Product itself? | |
| Mar 27, 2017 at 19:13 | comment | added | Levi J | Good point. You seem to be looking at more country/large scale discussion, but I guess I was looking at more regional/geographical. So instead of colors based on the countries flag, colors that relates to its geography, such as plains, coastal, desert, etc. and what a color palette for that might look like. | |

For example, the colour associated to mourning in my country (Poland) is black. I know that in Japan it is white, so it may be a little bit avoided. I think that some "sensitive" products may need to avoid being associated with some emotions and hence they may be a subject of this kind of adaptations. | |
| Mar 27, 2017 at 19:04 | comment | added | Dominik Oslizlo | I think it is an interesting concept, however I have not seen any examples of it. I know that Facebook's globe is localised, and shows the part of the world User is in, but regarding colour, this would need to refer either to some preference, emotional design, or some international colour coding. I believe the direction to search is olympics, where each of the circles represents different language (but I doubt someone would be able tell which one is which). The other one would be flags. | |

The original question referred to examples of UX designers with this approach – I have changed it to better refer to the particular problem. Still, there seem to be multiple questions here (however: strictly related to each other).
