If you're selling a money-making product you should use green and brown colors, as they represent money and strength, and bring out the emotion of greed and comfort respectively.

Analyze what colors your competitors use. Avoid using colors already associated with your competitor if you wish to position your product effectively in the mind of your prospects.
