Eating Only One Color Food for 24 Hours – Viral Challenge Analysis
The Crazy Internet Challenge Everyone Is Trying (3rd Blog)
A new food challenge is exploding across TikTok and YouTube:
Eating only one color of food for 24 hours.
Creators must choose a single color — like red, green, yellow, or purple — and eat only foods of that color for the entire day. No cheating, no mixing.
It sounds fun and simple, but this trend reveals surprising insights about nutrition, psychology, and social media behavior.
How the Challenge Works
Participants pick one color such as:
-
🔴 Red (strawberries, apples, watermelon, tomatoes, chips, ketchup)
-
🟡 Yellow (bananas, mango, corn, eggs, pasta, lemonade)
-
🟢 Green (cucumber, spinach, kiwi, broccoli, tea)
-
🟣 Purple (berries, grapes, beetroot, purple sweet potato)
-
⚪ White (rice, milk, curd, bread, coconut)
Then they record an entire day of:
📌 Grocery shopping
📌 Cooking & tasting
📌 Funny struggle moments
📌 Emotional reactions
📌 End-of-day results
The challenge has millions of views because it’s visually satisfying and unpredictable.
Why This Challenge Became Viral
1. Color Psychology + Visual Content
Color-based food looks aesthetic and high engagement for short videos.
Bright colors = more likes, shares, and attention.
2. Comedy & Relatability
Struggling with limited food choices makes content entertaining and naturally funny.
3. Healthy vs Unhealthy Experiment
People discover how different colors affect energy, mood, and performance.
4. Easy to Try at Home

What Nutrition Experts Say
Color-based eating reveals dietary gaps:
| Food Color | Health Impact |
|---|---|
| Red | Boosts heart health & energy |
| Green | Improves immunity & digestion |
| Yellow/Orange | Enhances skin & eye health |
