Looking pretty is probably top of the list but there is also:

  • hazard labelling
  • visibility (i.e. don't buy green-handled garden tools, unless you want to lose them every time you put them down)
  • clearly showing where the buttons are, or marking different sections of an object
  • helping to locate different, very similar things (imagine if all your USB sticks were the same colour)
  • cost of different coloured materials
  • individual identity of object "my drill is turquoise, your drill is yellow"
  • to warn off predators
