Hi @juecoree, during a color theory class, it was said that orange is the most seductive color. Although our eyes are immediately drawn to red, orange creates that form of stimulation. Hence warm colors are also associated with food which was why yellow tones were selected in the restaurant image of Westin in Dubai that you have featured above balanced by the cool tones on the artwork.

Red, orange, and yellow are food stimulants, which interior design in most restaurants used such colors. We can associate red with energy-dense, sugar-laden fruits or vegetables. When we see yellow, our brain secretes serotonin in anticipation of our food. Orange gives us a sensory perception of having a full table."

I very much agree with that. When I enter dining places and see green and other cool colors being used in strong doses, I couldn't help but shake my head. I know that green is associated with being healthy, perhaps a message being sent of the food being organically sourced but that could be reflected on the branding and not in the interior selection of materials used.

I am a fan of using white walls because it's such a flexible canvas to work with paired with warm tones of wood. What about you?

I couldn't agree more. Red, orange and yellow are the best colors to influence a person appetite. For That is why Jollibee are very appealing to the masses. The branding and their store interiors have accent walls of either red, orange, yellow or a combination. Besides, they always used furniture with such tones.

White is great. It is simple and flexible. I like the tones between black and white. It is minimalistic and I feel that it is a calm tone that may alludes a cozy environment. I also like the wood tones. It feels organic and natural. !PIZZA

Indeed! Chowking followed suit with Jollibee. The intriguing part is despite its branding color Mang Inasal managed to succeed. I guess just the sound of the word inasal makes us salivate at the thought of their delicious roasted chicken. Just talking about that makes me hungry now haha.

Thanks for sharing your interior preference. Minimalist design is definitely in my books as well. Happy Friday!
