Coloring your food... Naturally

Have you ever eat something really with a bright blue color? Well, I don't think I have, I was thinking about this topic for the past few months. Research found that color controls our mood. I think I believe that.

But, it is believed that blue will decrease or even delete our appetite! How come color affects our appetite? well then, If we look into something red, orange, brown, our appetite might increase. weird huh?
