"ForeSights: Surprisingly Colorful Foods and Drinks" examines the use of novel colors for food and drink products. This report identifies major drivers of the surprisingly colorful foods trend, looks at different ways that the trend is playing out, and examines possible implications for packaged goods marketers.
Food and drink preferences are based on many factors. Color is one of the most basic product differentiators, but tends to be under-utilized compared to other characteristics, like taste.
