<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Ravenous Red
According to color psychologists, red shades convey excitement and energy. Red catches the eye. It raises the heart rate and gets the blood pumping. Red is also thought to stimulate the appetite. It's a very bold, vigorous, eye-catching choice; used too heavily, it might make the viewer feel overstimulated and nervous.
On the Other: Yummy Yellow
Yellow is another energetic, warm color that's like red, but less bold and more playful. It, too, stimulates the body and the appetite. Be warned, however, it is thought that tempers flare in yellow rooms, and babies fuss more. At the same time, yellow can make people feel more cheerful and bubbly. This is a "fun" color--a little unstable, a little immature.
Bottom Line
If you can't decide between red and yellow, there's always a compromise: orange. Orange is a warm and thus stimulating color, but is more subdued than either red or yellow. It helps make a room feel inviting and cozy, while still helping perk up the spirit and the appetite.
