Comment on How much oranger do red orange bags make oranges look?

Comments

This is one of those things I knew on some subconscious level but never really thought about until now. Of course the red mesh makes them look more orange - it's basically grocery store color grading. Honestly kinda love how simple the trick is. No fancy tech, no marketing wizardry - just "put red stuff over orange stuff, profit." Makes me wonder what other dumb little visual hacks are happening around me that I'm not noticing at all.

I need to look at all the nets and see what colors they are I think. Lemons, advocados etc there are probably more in the same class of trickery.

Maybe tomatoes are in boxes that make them look more red? Who knows. I am looking forward to the next super market visit.

If it's marketing, all of it. Movies as well.
