　In Thailand is coming to completed-aged. This paper aimed to investigate the color preference of rice for Thai elderly people. First, we stained color to rice by Anchan (Blue), Curmin (yellow), Bi-tery (green) Ka-jeab (red) and normal white rice. We prepared the questionnaire on website. We asked thirty-three elderly people to participate in the experiment. The result showed high score of preference of green, blue, yellow, red rice respectively. For white rice showed high preference score almost same as green rice. Subjects commented that they feel natural, healthy with green color. White rice was looked common but it could make good contrast with food quite well.
