Color Language

Color Language is a professional certification program that provides a research-driven foundation for understanding how color influences human emotion, cognition, and behavior.

Developed by Michelle Lewis using the Universal Color Psychology Standard, this course offers a structured, strategic approach to applying color across branding, design, communication, leadership, and environmental psychology.

Participants will gain practical tools, scientific insight, and measurable methods for evaluating the impact of color - making this certification ideal for organizations and professionals who require clarity, consistency & evidence-based color decisions.

Scientific credibility. Commanding more respect in your field & producing work that consistently delivers measurable results.

Powerful impact. Every palette, product, campaign, or space you touch becomes more intentional & more aligned with human emotion.

Accurate predictions. Confidence, clarity & the ability to make color decisions that you can finally explain, defend & predict with absolute certainty.

Choosing colors that work the first time. Creating designs & environments that perform better, & never again guessing (or doubting) what a hue will communicate.

No more guessing. Only color that works.

Founder of The Color Institute

& creator of the Universal Color Psychology Standard

- the first framework to unify the physiological, psychological & cultural meaning of color into one clear system.

My work has been featured in outlets like Daily Mail, MSN, Clinical Advisor, Psychiatry Advisor, Cardiology Advisor, Inc., the New York Post & more, because color impacts every industry: healthcare, branding, marketing, leadership, education, architecture, mental health & personal design.

I’ve helped companies increase conversions, supported clinicians & educators in improving emotional outcomes, guided teams in transforming their work environments & shown professionals how to use color as a strategic communication tool rather than an aesthetic guess.

When you learn from me, you’re not just taking a course - you’re learning from the expert who’s redefining how the world understands, interprets & applies color across every professional discipline.

I built this because the world is overwhelmed by color noise - opinions, trends, myths & “rules” that have no basis in science, yet heavily influence the way people design, lead, teach, heal & communicate.

Every day I see professionals who feel frustrated, confused, or even helpless about choosing the right colors because they were never taught what color actually means on a psychological or physiological level. They’re expected to make high-stakes decisions without the tools to understand how color affects emotion, trust, behavior, or well-being.

I created the Universal Color Psychology Standard

& this Color Language

course because the world desperately needs a clear, evidence-based way to interpret color...one that restores confidence, removes guesswork & empowers people to use color intentionally rather than accidentally. No one should feel lost or uncertain about something as powerful & universal as color.

This is the system I wish every professional had from the beginning.

You want to understand color on a deeper, scientific & psychological level...not just aesthetically.

You’re tired of guessing & want a proven system for choosing colors that create measurable results.

You work in branding, marketing, design, leadership, education, wellness, or any field where color influences perception or behavior.

You want to elevate your expertise, credibility, & confidence with a certification that differentiates you from everyone else in your industry.
