  – Color is a primary element in interior designs which determines the mood of a room. It can be used to create an atmosphere of space that result in the increase of our stimuli on certain things, e.g. food.

Red and yellow are colors that can stimulate appetite. Not surprisingly, these colors are chosen to be the color of the room in famous restaurants. Just take a look at many fast food restaurants. The interior design of those restaurants are often painted or decorated in red or yellow, including the chairs, tableware, and accent on the wall. This application is not without any reason. Red and yellow have been proven to evoke appetite.

The theory says that the red and yellow color correlates closely with food color. Fruits, cakes, ice cream, candies, and almost all foods have these colors. So, when you are in a room dominated by those colors, the brain automatically makes you think about food. As a result, you will feel hungry and the appetite increases.
