Colour in the food context refers to the visual appearance and pigmentation of food, which plays a crucial role in influencing perception, taste expectations, and overall appeal. Food colour can be natural, coming from pigments like carotenoids, chlorophyll, and anthocyanins, or it can be artificially added for aesthetic and marketing purposes. It also serves as an indicator of food quality, freshness, and ripeness.
