Episode Three:
All I See Are Red Flags
Ever wonder why brands use the colors they do?
Spoiler: it is never random.
Episode Three of Lies We Bought uncovers how color became one of the oldest psychological shortcuts in human history. From ancient symbolism to modern branding, we dig into how every shade around you is designed to trigger emotion, guide behavior, and influence choices long before you notice what you are looking at.
We explore the marketing, psychology, and cultural forces that turned color into one of the most powerful persuasion tools on the planet and why your brain reacts to it faster than text, logic, or reasoning.
Episode Three premieres December 9th.
