Please don’t use gray and green colors.

Light-blue color is the color of peace, logic, and rest. It will act like a perfect appetite suppressant. You really don’t need this.

Green - associates with nature and symbolize health. And here you can see the connection between this color and nature – it can give you a good relaxing effect - which again dulls your appetite. But using this color on nonfood products will bring you a sense of confidence in the product.

Grey - muffles appetite and can even disgust it! It doesn’t cause irritation, but it soothes and mutes anxiety and the appetite too.

The color is one of the most important aspects of your future logo; it can look pure, awesome and rich or can make people awkward, sick and even disgusting. Be careful when making choice.
