Will the colors yellow and red in your kitchen make you eat more ?

Question

because my friend said that the colors yellow or red in your kitchen will eat more? if not or if so why?

Answer 1

oh i think so...my sister is a nursing student, and she had nutrition subject before. and it's part of the human mind to be perceiving food as more appetizing when we see red, orange and yellow. it's part of the human psychology, you know. just like  when you eat in a restaurant wherein the colors of the walls are violet, blue and green. would you feel the same? would you be more enjoying your food? wouldn't you think that you're in a boutique instead?  

Answer 2

Well that's strange really,'cos My kitchen is Turquoise, and I eat like a horse.I think your friend is kidding you.

Answer 3

Yellow is for digestion and red is for survival. If you mix the two colors it makes a person restless. That's why fast food places do it because they want to get them in but get them out quickly as well.

Answer 4

thats probably true cause in mcdonalds thy basic colors are yellow and red and white!

Answer 5

No, colors have no effect on my eating habits, but I'm going to try the blue light thing and use the power of suggestion, blue light = no eat!

Answer 6

I know, like how they do all fast food logos like that?  d**n good question!

Answer 7

I guess I could eat a little less, but my kitchen is black & chrome with light wood accents.

No, but I think your friend could have a point here in that that someone who likes to spend time cooking could choose those cheerful, warm colors. There's a situation where you are expected to eat too much or offend the cook's ego, they like company while they eat, lol.  I think it's a coincidence, tho'  

Answer 8

I have red and yellow in my kitchen and I haven't noticed any change in my eating patterns.

From my research, orange is the color that truly increases one's appetite. Red, on the other hand, causes physical and emotional stimulation and also promotes feelings of stress. As for yellow, it makes people irritable after prolonged exposure. Maybe all the blue accents I also have in my kitchen are the only things keeping me calm? :-)

Answer 9

GOOD question everytime i walk into a fast food restaurant those are the colors I see WTF lol anyway I think because it reminds you of the things TASTY foods contain such as ketchup on burgers and fries, hotdogs, etc etc etc. SO yeah have a star btw EXCELLENT question.
