Blue color can decrease your appetite,
doesn’t it?
It’s well known that color can
trigger or encourage your subconscious responses or feeling. The color blue can
have many positive effects on human’s mind and body such as calming you mind
down because blue can create chemicals in the body that are slow down human
metabolism. We usually see that a room wall of the living room or bedroom is
blue. However, we rarely see a room wall of dining room or restaurant blue.
It’s usually red or yellow instead. Do you know why?
Another effect of the color
blue
It’s normal that human try to
adapt to their surroundings and environment. The fact is the environment
doesn’t have many blue items. Some naturally blue foods are blueberries, blue
corn and some types of blue potato. The brain doesn’t recognize blue foods as
something safe to eat. If we think of the poison, we usually think it’s blue.
The evolutionary instinct of colored food protects us against eating poisonous
and dangerous foods. This instinct creates aversion to eating whatever that has
blue as a dominant color. Thus, the color blue can decrease your appetite.
The research
There is a study had
participants spend time in blue, red and yellow room. The result shows that the
participants from the blue room ate foods 33% less than other rooms. Another
study was serving food with different colors food dye. When served food with
blue food dye, participants eat foods less than usual. It shows that
participants lost their appetite. Furthermore, product testers of new food have
a tendency to inhibit blue foods because blue color made it look unappetizing.
For example, blue Pepsi which didn’t last long. If you think about blue liquid
in your mind, what do you think first? Definitely, you don’t want it to go
inside your body. It seems like drug, potion or anything that can make you
sick.
