Supposedly the color blue makes a person less hungry. So, in theory, eating off a blue plate would naturally make you want to eat less. The same goes if you paint the inside of your fridge blue.
The theory is based on the fact that most items in nature that are blue are not edible (blueberries being the exception) and therefore, we are programed to not eat blue things because we don’t want to die.
ON the other hand, yellows, reds and oranges make us hungry. Ever notice what colors fast food chains use?

I have never heard of this to be true, but could it be due to the color reflecting on to your eyes, or something to do with the color blue being attractive and making your mind want to see it over the food running the thought that you are not hungry?

I have never heard that before! I do know they say if you use a smaller plate, it is to supposedly trick the mind into thinking you are getting more, than your getting. Therefore making you feel fuller faster.
I don’t think it makes a difference.

Those restaurants obviously don’t know me. I don’t care about the color of the plate, only the delicious food on it. I’ve never noticed the color of the plates before.

Some of my plates are blue and it doesn’t make any difference with my family. I might even eat more. Also my cobalt blue ice cream dishes are a blue and we always eat every bite.

i know yellow and red make you hungry, so maybe cool colors make you feel full faster, maybe you eat slower? don’t know, but it’s a guess

Don’t think I’ve ever eaten on a blue plate. But maybe a fun experiment.
