The 3 best colors for call to action buttons:
- Red. The color red stands out on most web pages.
- Green. If the product or service you are selling relates to the environment, psychology, and peace, then green is the right call to action button color for you.
- Orange or Yellow. Orange is exciting and warm.
What color should call to action be?
Generally speaking, green and orange buttons are reported to perform best. Ultimately though it will depend on your site design, as contrasting colors work best to make striking buttons that stand out. You wouldn’t want a green CTA button on a green background.
In electronics, the results are rather close to the general ones – red is the most popular button color. Red, green, blue and orange are the leading choices here, but the blue color has a smaller share this time.

What should the colour of the login button be?
The color of the login button should match the primary color of your style theme. Apparently, you’re using material design. If your theme, for example, uses blue (#2196F3) as a primary color, your primary action buttons should also be blue so they are contrasting the rest of the page and are easily distinguishable.
For the login form, that would be “Login”, since you register once but login every time. Hence, the color of the register button should be “none” (just a link or a white button, if you want to stick with a button), whereas the color of your login button is dependent on your “corporate design”.
When to use a different color for buttons?
When I suggest another color in order to create contrast, the feedback is “That color is off-brand”. While understanding that placement, size and content also play huge factors, is there any hard evidence I can point to that says “Stop making your buttons the same color as other stuff on the page”?
This is why using brand colors for buttons can also be dangerous, as these colors tend to be used in multiple other places on the page. To choose a button that has an appropriate level of hue contrast, we recommend brushing up a little bit on basic color theory and the color wheel. We wrote about this in a previous blog post here.
