Colors

Not only do colors look good when theyre bright and strong, they help food appear more appetizing. Better looking food attracts more people to eat it. Color combinations and contrast are also important. Not to mention flavor combos as well. A plate full of just plain white cheddar cheese would lack lots of color and attractiveness despite cheddar cheese being delicious alone. But a Red Wine-soaked white cheddar adds color and contrast, complimentary flavors and balance, and eye appealing. Just one of many potential examples.
