https://blog.kissmetrics.com/color-psychology/?wide=1Where it all started - Some time ago, i heard about a romanian social netwrok, "Knotch", which gives people the chance to express their feelings through a pallete of colors.
The color spectrum is a one click-away solution. You choose a color to express your opinion. One tap makes it count. That’s it.
What is color of money -
A solution for people to know where they stand, account related, without the need to, daily, log in their bank account. A solution for people to know how much credit they have left on the prepay card without calling 333, every day and every moment in the day.
How it works:
Just as Knotch, it uses a pallete of colors which are shown on the mobile phone, tablet or PC background/dashboard. As the situation changes the color or set of colors changes. One person can have a set of 3 color palletes set up on the screen, representing 3 different situations they apply for
Ex:
1. Bank Account
2. Change in price for a specific product
3. Time spent in front of the pc
Because talking for too long on the mobile , can harm people, a chosen pallete of colors, can make the person aware of the time spent during the conversation.
Using a pallete of colors, a Prepay phone card owner, can:
- find out the time left until the the need to top up (no credit or the valability expiration)
- find out the credit/minutes left on the card, for international calls and not only
Other Possible Uses:
The color system can be used as a lock screen system.
Acomplishes two important missions
- Does not allow other people to look through the phone, while leaving it unatended
- Keeps us up to date with the pre programed situations.
- To mask the caller id.
Each person in our own phone agenda, can get a collor atributed to him or her. If we do not want, for people around us to know who called us, the owner can activate the color system and in this way mask the number and caller id. I believe it can be implemented in smartwatches too .
Besides the phone agenda, the color system can be atributed to different areas of country, thus knowing from where the last call originated

A french Bank uses this concept in its app : If you have enough money on your bank account, the background is a nice weather picture. But if funds are missing, a storm quickly appears !
translateYour idea is a system with multiple uses : can we find more ?
It could be indeed usefull as a widget on mobile phones !

Thank you for your input and question.
translateI did think about an extra use scenario, a scenario which might be implementable in the future, but it all depends on the ATM structure and technology.
Based on some studies credit card fraud results in $500 million in damages each year (USA case) and according to FICO : Debit-card compromises at ATMs located on bank property jumped 174% from Jan. 1 to April 9, compared with the same period last year, while successful attacks at nonbank machines soared by 317% .
The color of money system, can be implemented in all the ATM machines, presenting the amount of money found on the card as a pallete of colors, with no real digits, present on the screen.
After the owner checks and withdraws the sum of money, can active the colors system, using the app/button on the mobile phone.
This means the thiefs will not be able to record a code for that system too.
While the system is activated, the owner can be anounced if someone wants to hack the account.

And I rember a wallet which was getting smaller as your money reserves were decreasing! A kind of Money barometer
