the University of British Columbia found that
seeing a red computer screen boosted study
participants’ attention to detail by 31%,
compared to seeing blue. “Red reminds people

makes you pay attention,” says study author
Juliet Zhu, PhD. If you’re tightly wound,
however, don’t drench a room in red—it’ll make
you extra edgy.

Using orange dishes makes your food taste
sweeter. Participants in a recent Spanish
experiment, published in the Journal of Sensory
Studies , discovered that hot chocolate tasted
more chocolatey when served in either orange

choice, and opens us to a whole new realm of
possibility.”
