Abstract
Color combination is an important factor in choosing a dish when served on a plate. A survey on preference of food color combination was undertaken with 7colored agar-agar jellies to special age groups composed only men.
Results obtained were as follows:
1. The combination of red and orange colors was preferred by all age groups.
2. Boys of 6 years old preferred the combination including red or black; men of 20 years old, this of white, orange or yellow; men of 40-60 years old, also this of orange, green or white.
3. By all accounts, the dominant color for 6 years old boys would be red, whereas this for men of 40-60 years old would be white.
4. The kinds of foods, especially in cases of vegetables and fruits, imaged from the color of jellies were almost common to all age groups.
