I spent my weekend painting my kitchen cabinets and while telling a friend about the interesting color choice I made, he commented on that particular color's effects on appetite.I never thought of this, so I did a quick research jaunt online and found a few similar comments.
While blue is one of the most popular colors it is one of the least appetizing. Blue food is rare in nature. Food researchers say that when humans searched for food, they learned to avoid toxic or spoiled objects, which were often blue, black, or purple. When food dyed blue is served to study subjects, they lose appetite. (Source).
I didn't intentionally paint my cabinets a regal, bright and feminine color that, apparently, also helps suppress appetites, but hey - whatever works!
Fascinating.
