The Impact of Defendant Clothing Color on Juror Decision-Making

The color of a defendant’s clothing can directly influence how they are perceived by a jury in court. Implicit color associations of power and attractiveness from the color red, result in harsher perceptions for both men and women. In addition, women tend to face harsher judgments when they deviate from traditional color-gender norms.
