Colors and your appetite

A little psychology mixed with food, delicious. There are colors that appeal and stimulate appetite and there are colors that suppress it. These colors have changed over time and the colors discussed today are accurate as of now.

Red is an appetite stimulant and that's why you tend to see red in so many restaurants. Interestingly enough, red usually signified danger, poisonous, or lethal with animals in the wild. Still, we find it appetizing.

Blue is an appetite suppressant. This is due to the lack of blue foods in nature. Most grown foods that are labeled as blue are actually purple. Weight loss plans suggest eating off of a blue plate because it's proven that you'll eat less. Other programs go as far to tell dieters to put a blue light in their refrigerator to fight the munchies. The last M&M color to be added was blue because the M&M company was aware of the scientific facts about blue. The public isn't aware that they don't like blue though so the color won in a vote and was added to the M&M bag.

Purple in black are said to be appetite suppressants as well. Although we eat naturally purple foods, purple food coloring is just unappealing.
