Color complexity in social media posts leads to more engagement, new research shows
Briefly

Our studies reveal that more complex images in social media posts tend to capture greater attention. However, factors such as timing and text complexity impact their effectiveness.
The more the brain has to decipher color variations across neighboring pixels, the harder it has to work, influencing the level of engagement a post might receive.
Visual prominence and time of day can enhance the impact of color complexity, suggesting that strategic planning around these factors is crucial for social media success.
We discovered that when positive images are combined with complicated texts, this synergy could potentially enhance user engagement, highlighting the importance of cohesively aligning visuals and messaging.
