CNNmoney.com is reporting that colors are being used to draw consumers into buying and -- hopefully -- getting businesses out of the current slump. While I would hate to see a revival of the avocado range my mother had, I kind of like the looks of the blue one shown here:

So, do colors cause you to open your wallet?
