Does anyone else find the blue 50mg Apigenin caps off-putting?

Just opened my 50mg Apigenin bottle and was disappointed to see the bright blue caps. I know it's trivial but I guess the food coloring aesthetic clashes with my concept of a health-promoting substance. Maybe it's just me.

You're reasoning behind color coding the capsules is totally valid, and I get the practical aspect. I just have an aversion to dyed food products and would prefer similar looking pills over dyed color coded pills. Some of my feelings are based on hearing negative things about food dyes, and some are just based on an instinctual desire not to consume bright, strangely colored objects. My feelings aren't scientific, and maybe I'm in the minority, I'm not sure, but I know I personally would be disappointed if dyed capsules become more commonplace at ND.

I understand, and I totally get that stance for foods you consume in larger amounts. However, the capsule shell has insanely low amounts of coloring. It's meaningless in the grand scheme of things. You'd get more in a couple gummy bears. The utility of being able to tell products apart is really nice. Would I personally avoid in in things like cereal, where I am eating orders of magnitude more volume? Yeah, maybe that is more reasonable.
