Do tableware colors affect your appetite?

Ever wondered why a lot of food establishments are choosing the red color as their flagship hue or logo? Although there is no specific scientific evidence for this, red has been remarked as a color that increases the appetite of a person. According to Business Insider, studies have shown that red is stimulating, exciting, and associated with activity but does not necessarily make you hungry. However, the color red can also increase our heart rates, which somehow suggests excitement towards food.

Meanwhile, another reason why colors are often related to one’s appetite is the phenomenon called color therapy or  chromotherapy. In a nutshell, it means that colors have strong subconscious impact on our emotions and feelings, which impact the way we see food.  Dinnerware where our food are being placed can also have an effect on our appetite.

Here are some dinnerware colors that you should keep in mind to make sure that the food you will serve next time will be extra appetizing:

RED

This is one of the most emotionally intense colors in the color wheel. Red stimulates physical excitement, quickens the pulse, and promotes hunger.

GREEN

This color is the predominant color of nature where almost all of the food resources came from. Moreover, green suggests sustenance, freshness, and abundance. Check out Melawares’ Plain Color Series in Lime Green and Melawares Translucent’s Groove Series in Jade design!
