Does the color red really make you hungry or hungrier?


Question Posted Thursday October 21 2010, 2:30 am

My art teacher was talking about how colors affect our moods. She said that the color red has been known to increase food cravings and make a person feel hungry. She even went as far as to say that's why a lot of food places, like Pizza Hut, use the main color red for their buildings outside and inside. Does anybody know if this is true or if she was just making it up?

Red is a warm colour. I never heard this before but a lot of nice foods are red so something maybe right with this.

It's true that the color red makes eating more appetizing. Red is a warm, inviting color and it's been said that putting food on red plates makes you eat more. Inversely, putting food on blue plates will make you eat less. For this reason many restaurants and kitchens are painted red.

I was taught the sames thing several decades ago, so no, I don't think your teacher is making it up.
