In this page, I summarized the influence of color on human appetite.
We feel it looks yummy looking at the color of the food, and it is not so. Let's take a look at the slide.

You seem to have lost your appetite just because the color changed.
Actually, our food (meal) and colors are inseparable. When eating, the thing that works the most in sense is neither taste nor olfaction, it is said to be visual.
We judge the taste of cooking by five senses (taste, Olfaction,Tactile sense , vision, hearing), but among them the visual information accounts for 87%.

■Looks yummy color
Generally, it is said that warm color food looks delicious. And the deeper the color, the more it looks delicious.
Then, imagine a little egg. You broke the egg trying to cook. Which do you feel delicious?
"Which egg looks delicious?" We conducted a questionnaire survey on 179 junior high school students in the school 127 boys and 52 girls.
【Our forecast】
Dark colored egg feels more delicious
【reason】
We think that the color is darker but the taste is darker.
I think that there are many nutrients when the color is dark.
【Survey Results】 As a result 166 people 93% of 179 people answered that dark colored eggs looked more delicious.
【Comment】There are overwhelmingly many people who feel dark colored eggs deliciously. Looking at the ratio it seems that many girls chosen eggs that are lighter in color than boys.It may be that girls prefer something with less taste.
Don't you feel the eggs of a darker taste better?
Actually, taste and color are irrelevant, and there are some delicious eggs even with thin eggs, but we like dark colored eggs.
This is said to have been judged from the experience so far, "Dark color = high component concentration {tasteful}." After all, there seems to be a great relationship between color and appetite.
■It makes it look delicious by the effect of color
Then, can you make food look delicious using color effects?
For example in this salad
Plus tomatoes. . .It looked more delicious.
This is the effect of complementary color.他For example, if you lean sashimi and add leaves, it looks yummy because red and green are complementary colors and have a function to complement both colors.
■Color that diminishes appetite
As you saw on slides, there are colors that diminish appetite. Generally, "blue" is said to be a color that diminishes appetite, but why? It is said that "blue" does not exist in natural ingredients. It is said that
" blue" does not exist in natural ingredients.
Fish scales are blue, but meat is white or pink. In addition, eggplants and blueberries are a little reddish purple.。
In this way, it is considered that people who evolved without seeing "blue" isn't a food ingredient the color of "blue" was begun to lose appetite. That is, even if you look at the blue food, you decide on your own what your brain is not food (not tasty).
The reason why blue decreases appetite is because we can not associate meal with "blue" .
