Week ago, Hussain Mohamed sent me this interesting picture, one I have overlooked by mistake. The game is simple – all you have to do is say the original colors out loud, and ignore the written word. Like Hussain pointed, for example, orange might be given in green text, and you have to read the word “green” instead. It couldn’t be more easy, could it? Now let’s play! You’ll quickly realize this isn’t as simple as you though it would be!
BTW, I’ve received bunch of cool optical illusion videos, and can’t wait to share them with you via our custom video player! Expect more cool stuff in days to come…

It confused me.lol. Took me a couple of tries but I got it in the end.
There is a very easy trick to get this done in ONE GO!!! Blur out the image, defocus your eyes so that you can see the color and not read the words, that way you can immediately recognise the correct color and say it….try this SIMPLE trick.

That was ezpz.
I found it real easy when I said “orange” when “orange” was typed. But I found it really hard the other way when I said “blue” when the word was typed “orange” in blue ink. Are the people above sure they did it right?
Sinchamicaded, wtf is the point of it :L
BTW people i am the NUMBER 1 DOG LOVER
The instructions are unclear. What are the “original colors” you are supposed to say?
Did you mean say the displayed color??
got it in one go :-)
I find it gets easier as you go. By the last line, I was reading as fast as the first line.
WAY WAY WAY TOO EASY! And I’M ONLY 12! HA! Y do u lot think it’s THAT hard?
well.. not that hard, but probably because English isn’t my native language ;)
if u sorta cross your eyes and make all the words blury, its easier :D
Squint til you can’t read it and it’s easy!
the best way to do it is to lose focus or cross your eyes so its blurred, then the colours are easy to see
it didnt squint of nothin’. i didnt mess up.
I can read the words, but not say the color.
I consecutively said all of them with no problem
To easy. I can read both color and world without stumbling on either.
I only stuffed up on the last one. pretty easy.
DON’T
READ
THIS
YOU CANT LOOK AT A WORD AND NOT READ IT
i kept getting stuck on the “purple” ones cause i wasn’t sure if i should say purple pink or fuchsia….
WOO HOO!!! I did it on the first try, like a bause!
the colors didn’t mess me up
