Who’s in a colorful mood and has the munchies?

The MoodUP in my opinion is the most ludicrous, over-the-top fridge ever conceived. Its basic gimmick is that it has colour-changing LED panels on its doors. It’s a French-door fridge-freezer with a fridge above and a freezer below and four doors that open from the center.

As with some of LG’s existing fridges, the top-right panel is glass, allowing you to peer through and survey your beverages. It too is equipped with a light bar, so it can also get in on the color-changing action.     

In LG’s ThinQ app, you can choose from 22 colors for the upper door panels and 19 for the lower.

But there’s more to the color-changing panels than just fun. They’re also functional (sort of). When the fridge’s sensors detect you coming, the panels will blink. According to LG, this is welcome, although I don’t think that’s a widely recognized gesture.

At nighttime, the freezer doors glow brighter so you can locate midnight snacks without turning on the light and alerting everyone in the house to the fact you’re about to eat the last piece of cake. And if you accidentally leave a fridge door open, a panel will blink repeatedly to alert you – which is useful if you happen to be standing in front of the fridge and looking in the right direction.
