Color of food images play a key role in human perception of food quality and calories, as well as in food choice. In this paper we investigate the use of computational methods for color harmony analysis of food images. To this end we propose a computational pipeline that includes color segmentation, color palette extraction and color harmony prediction. Such a pipeline makes it possible to analyze the emotions elicited by pairs and multiple combinations of food dishes.
