Colour Changing Stools

I've seen this on the BBC website, its basically a story about new colour changing furniture.

On display at the Siggraph show (Japan), the Fuwapica furniture uses sensors embedded in the table-top to work out the colour of items placed upon it.

The colours of the stools then change to match the colour of whatever has been placed on the sensitive table-top.

The stools' sensors work out the weight of anyone sitting on them - heavier people are treated to darker shades.

So how happy would you be about sitting on furniture that tells you how heavy you are? Now I like the idea of something that is interactive like this, but life's hard enough with out the stools mocking you about how chubby you are... What colour does it turn then if you weight allot, different shades of black? Plus surely people will pick up on this and soon learn the colours to look out for, not good in my mind.
