First, studies have been performed for effect of color on food choices. Color preference is dependent on the human brain and eyes working together (Fairchild). In the brain’s visual cortex, the interpretation of color occurs when neurons are stimulated. The stimulation of these neurons will give one a favorite color. When seen, the eyes will focus on the particular color preferences. Having a favorite color will affect muscle movements made in the motor cortex. To illustrate, in a study done by Science Buddies, they had the student record their favorite color on paper. Then, they had students choose twenty m and m’s out of a bowl. Once the student was done picking their twenty, the number of each color m and m picked was calculated. Most students favorite color …show more content…

Ultimately, colors help most humans make decisions on what to
