BD (breath device) color consideration

my design is a fresh breath test machine. The purpose of this product is help to detect the level of breath smell and give a result of the test,  it works with biological organism of human body and especially this product linked strongly with the feeling of fresh, because users want to achieve good results of their breath oder.

My first selection of colours would be blue, white, chrome/metal. Blue and white used frequently in cleaning product such as toothpaste, they provided closest feel of freshness and clean. The only reason of choosing metal is because i have included some parts (little circles button on the side) that very likely to be made out metal to look like a real product. I also considered about green, although i knew green represents sickness back in middle age in France and still does a bit now. Green is also associate with green tea and healthy. unfortunately it just dosen't look as good as other options in my color drawings.

After a reconsideration on my first color option. Maybe freshness is not the only answer to such product, i think there are some things that are more attractive for consumers to buy rather than a combination of blue and white ( this combination is too common seen in the market). In my drawing of different colours combination, the black and white really stands out of others. The white color seems like made out of ceramics and the black is very glossy. They look like a carefully designed product in the market.  Or maybe it is just stand against with these colors in my drawing, it is going to be hard to represent in the finally folio though.

  1. You say the colour green is associated with sinkness, I feel that this is true to an extent but only relates to a specific green hue. I feel as though green should still be considered for your product although not the shade featured in your image. Perhaps an aqua alternative? this way it is a compromise between green and blue, the latter of which you seem to favour due to its "fresh" appearance. If you choose aqua then your product will still have a fresh aesthetic but will appear more unique in the market place. If you choose white I would personally opt for a pearlescent finish or atleast a high gloss to mimic the aesthetic of clean teeth. Furthermore, chrome may very well be an effective choice as it is often associated with sterile environments, further consolidating your "clean" aesthetic.
