To see how hot chocolate
enjoyment was affected by cup color, Piqueras-Fiszman and her
colleagues asked 57 participants to rate samples of the same delicious
beverage in four colors of plastic cup: white, cream, orange and red. (All cups were white on the inside.)
The participants said the drink was more flavorful when served in a
cream- or orange-colored cup. Interestingly, participants rated the
orange- and cream-colored cups of cocoa tastier despite the fact that
participants didn't say there were any significant differences in
sweetness or aroma between the colored cups.
I wonder if the dark brown of the hot chocolate and the orange of the cup formed some sort of connection in the brain. Also it would be interesting to see what other cup or dish colors enhance flavors as well.
