Packaging is the appearance of a product. Color is the most appealing factor and attracts customers. Since ancient times, people have realized that color has a pioneering effect. Imagine if the packaging does not use color, its artistic aesthetics will certainly be greatly weakened, because the color has a strong visual appeal and expressive force on modern commodity packages, but it does not mean that the colors on the packaging are as bright as possible and different colors. The psychological and physiological effects on people are different. Different commodities also have different characteristics. The packaging design itself is particularly concerned with the taste of color, and it depends on the overall configuration of color. The configuration between colors can produce a variety of different styles. Reflect the characteristics of various commodities, the color of the various styles. Each has its own specificity.

When conflicts occur between two colors, achromatic colors are often used to make them interconnected and harmonized. In achromatic, black and white are two extreme colors. Black gives people solemn, solemn and introverted positive effects. Most people retain special feelings about black. It occupies an important position in packaging design, although it is generally not appropriate. It is used in large areas, but it is almost a color that is hardly missing in color combinations. White has a sense of launch and expansion, giving people a clear and breathable feeling. It is symbolic of purity, purity, and briskness, while whiteness also has duality. Gray as a neutral color, with soft and changeable features, ordinary, gentle symbol, there are hints of intrinsic meaning such as void, ethereal, golden mean, etc., can also play a complementary, buffer, strong, and reconcile role. Although grayscale processing is much more complicated than black-and-white processing, it varies from light gray to dark gray, which increases the level of the picture and makes the packaging more informative and decorative. III. The gold and silver due to its own unique gloss and price, coupled with long-term use for palace decoration, high-end living supplies, formed a symbol of noble, elegant, luxurious. Gold and silver are shining brightness, but also can play a role in harmonizing various colors, is commonly used in the design of decorative colors and decorative colors.
In many commodity packaging designs, most of them attract consumers' attention with bright colors and eye-catching colors, because rich colors convey different tastes and display different quality styles and decorative charms.

The gorgeousness and prosperousness of the world may not be pleasing to the eye. Instead, it gives the impression that people are dazzled.

To get rid of the shackles of the inherent attributes of traditional colors, and combine the modern packaging design theory with the attributes of the goods, packaging using gold, silver, black, white, and gray in colorless design will make the design even more timeless. The special nature of the achromatic system provides a stage for the full display of charm for the packaging design of many products. The use of gold and silver in the design helps to enhance the gloss effect, and can enrich the changes in space and level, because gold and silver have a strong reflective ability and keen characteristics. Under different angles and different effects of gloss, different colors appear, and proper use will enhance the brilliance, coherence and mystery of the goods. Its special materials and effects can reflect the gorgeous and rich packaging of the goods. Play an active role in the picture. The simple extraction and application of achromatic color help to strengthen the characteristics of the product, help improve the quality and grade of the product, and enhance the sense of the times and personality of the product.
The colors have distinct appearance attributes, and the achromatic colors of gold, silver, black, white, and gray also have a certain color meaning. In fact, achromatic colors have already formed their own complete color properties in people's minds, and soon People accept it as the eternal fashion color. Of course, in many packaging designs with achromatic color as the main body, some colors with high purity are often adorned during the period.
