Interesting! Especially with more and more variations and less and less time to pick the right package, it becomes ever more challenging.

In this context, this study might be interesting: "Understanding consumers' in-store visual perception: The influence of package design features on visual attention" It is based on eye-tracking in a store environment. Here are some of the conclusions:
* Physical design features such as shape and contrast dominate the initial phase of searching. (…)
* We conclude that consumers’ ?rst eye contact depends on simple physical design features, meaning features with little semantic content facilitates initial attention. (…)
* The regression analysis did not ?nd a signi?cant relation for design features like size, typography, brand letters, brand pictures, and color.”

And I have to admit that recently bought a wrong package of breakfast cereals... It had a yellowish orange or orangish yellow as accent color. But I bought a different one, with a 10 dE00 color difference. Just because my mind was not set on critical color comparison...
