The color of a coffee mug can have something to do with the way coffee tastes, according to a recent study, which was conducted in Australia and tested the influence that three different colored mugs — one white, one blue and one clear glass, had on the perception (感知 ) of different tastes. The researchers served 18 participants the same cup of coffee, in one of the three similarly shaped but differently colored containers, and then asked them to rate their sweetness, smell, bitterness, quality and acceptability. It turns out specifically that the white mug was associated with a more intense (浓 ) or bitter tasting cup of coffee, and the clear glass mug was not. The blue mug, meanwhile, proved to be kind of an inbetween. The opposite was true for perceived sweetness — participants noted less sweetness when drinking from the white mug than they did when drinking from both the blue and clear glass mugs. Research published this year shows that the color of a plate had a clear effect on taste intensity and sweetness. And the color red specifically has even been associated with lower levels of consumption. A red strawberry looks redder when placed against a white plate than it does against a black one. And there are associations with that redness that in turn can affect taste, Spence explains. Red might indicate heightened sweetness, because red fruits tend to be riper than green fruits, he said. And that indication can be enough to cause a large difference in taste. In the case of coffee, specifically, the researchers believe that the color brown might be something people associate with bitterness. The white mug may have influenced the perceived brownness of the coffee and this, in turn, may have influenced the perceived intensity and sweetness of the coffee, the researchers wrote. That would help explain why clear coffee mugs tended to have the opposite effect. 32. After being served the coffee, the participants were asked to______. A. distinguish the colors of the mugs B. exchange the ideas about the tastes C. judge the mug39。 s influence on the coffee D. give an overall description of the coffee。
