Do you have preferences about colours, tastes and smells?

What colours are appropriate for something depends on context. There are tastes and smells that act as strong punishment and forces avoidance and escape behaviors although I'm not sure I'd call it a preference.

That's funciontality, not aesthetics.

Aesthetics is a subset of functionality, specifically functionality at evoking a specific psychological response.
