Eve was seduced by the color and aroma of the fruit and the words of Satan...


Genesis 3:6 ESV
So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.


Sorry - no mention of 'color' or 'aroma'.

True, and note that as representing "all that is in the world," (1 John 2:16) the woman saw that the tree was good for food" = "the lust of the flesh;" (1 John 2:16) cf. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. (Matthew 4:3)

"the lust of the eyes," (1 John 2:16) cf. "Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me." (Matthew 4:8-9)

"the pride of life," (1 John 2:16) cf. "And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone." (Matthew 4:6)

The second Adam from above, who "was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin: (Hebrews 4:15) passed all 3 tests of the basic temptation man faces, thanks be to God.

No, there isn't but it is logical to assume that Satan used every device to appeal to the senses. This was a big prize for him and he would stop at nothing to win it.
