Ever grab the same mug every morning? It’s not just habit—it’s instinct. At Cuppa, we believe your mug choice, especially its colour, says something about you. Our vibrant Orange, Green, Bright Blue, and Bright Yellow mugs aren’t just pretty—they’re designed to spark joy, backed by color psychology. Let’s explore what your favourite mug colour reveals about you!
