The challenge

Ethan (age 4) would only eat beige foods, with a 95% rejection rate of non-beige items.

The solution

The beige spectrum illusion

Studio ChewChoo developed the "Beige Spectrum Illusion" strategy to help introduce a variety of foods as different shades of beige. This innovative approach leverages the principles of visual perception and colour psychology to gradually expand Ethan's dietary range.

The results

  • After 4 months, Ethan willingly accepted 9 new non-beige foods without the illusion.

  • Parental mealtime stress decreased by 70%, measured using the Family Mealtime Stress Index (FMSI).

  • His "Food Variety Acceptance Scale" score beat industry benchmarks to rise from from 14 to 31.
