Color can modify your moods and can even be used to calm your hunger, so you eat smaller proportions at any given meal. You can paint your way to Wellness in your kitchen and your dining room.

This is a science and commercial interests have used research in the field to find subtle ways to manipulate your senses and make them a fortune.

You can control your appetite by using Color in your home, office, or school to determine your behavior.
