Mind Colours

**TheGuru** · 30-05-2006, 12:01 PM

Below you find a number of words written in different colors. Try to name the colors you see as fast as possible. This means that you should say the names of the colors in which the words are written, and not read the words themselves.

Black blue Green
pink yellow purple
red black green white

You probably noticed that it is rather tough to say the names of the colors very fast, since your brain is also reading the text, which is almost unavoidable...

Why does the brain do this :?:

I think its as simple as your brains see's a word and you tell it to say it out and if you go too fast it gets confused and says the wrong one!
I don't think thats simple!
