Deep dives

Odors can distort perception of color

New research suggests that odors can impact how we perceive colors, although the reason behind this phenomenon remains unclear. The study involved 24 participants who had normal smell and color vision. The participants were exposed to five different odors (caramel, cherry, coffee, lemon, and peppermint) and asked to adjust the color of a patch on a screen to reproduce a neutral gray shade. The results indicated that the odors influenced the perceived gray color, with each odor shifting the color towards its associated hue.
