onc20e upon a myth

Neither PubMed nor Google Scholar have turned up anything for me.

Thank you for your research, you always were a scholarly one.  :)

I'm not sure if the body gets used to the same diet & burns food the same way, maybe it works the same way as the body gets used to doing the same exercise, that eventually its not a challenge anymore & you end up having to change your routine. Maybe food is the same way? I don't know.

I do remember a blurb about colors years ago. Remember when McDonalds used to use those red & yellow colors in their restaurants? The theory was that the colors were loud so you wouldn't want to stay there for too long, just order, eat & get out. Not sure how true it was.

That's similar to what I remember too.  Something about the bright colors were supposed to spark cravings?  Too much NPR all I can recall are bits & pieces.  

I did read that blue was supposed to suppress the appetite and you should eat your meals on blue plates.  So I am guessing there could be colors that stimulate the appetite. 

I asked one of the surgeons that I work for (who is a voracious reader about all things diet related), and he had never seen anything scientific on it, so he thinks it is bull****  FWIW...
