• Brown and food

  Brown is the colour of the strongest aroma. Roast meat is brown, baked dough and coffee, beer and chocolate are brown. It is the colour of the prepared and refined food. Brown is a colour that is rich in content. When light brown foods such as white bread and macaroni have a darker colour, they appear richer in calories. When you pay attention to calories, dark cake is more dangerous than light cake. Eggs with a brown shell appear to have a fuller taste than white ones. (Heller, 1989)

• Protective and cozy interior

  As a colour for interior, brown appears positive. It is the colour of rustic materials such as wood, leather and unbleached wool. Although spaces with brown furniture and carpets appear smaller, they also provide a sense of security. Brown rooms are experienced as cozy because brown provides the ideal climate indoors. It is the colour that belongs to the heat without being hot. (Heller, 1989)

• Warm and cold colours, cultural differences

  Culturally, small variations in the choice of warm and cold colours have been identified. In the Thai survey (Sato, Xin & Hansuebsai, 2003), the cold shades are slightly cooler than the Japanese ones. The Thai warmest colour is a warm orange (red-orange) and the coldest colour a bluish green. The border colours between warm and cold, eg. the transitional nuances between yellow and green gave rise to unclear results.
