About

Colors

You read "Green" but the word is painted orange. And the background is purple. Your brain stalls, and the clock doesn't wait. Colors is a reaction game built on the Stroop effect, the same phenomenon psychologists have been studying for nearly a century: reading a word is automatic, naming the color it's printed in is not. When the two disagree, your attention has to pick a side. HOW IT WORKS The screen background changes color every round. Tap the word that names that background color, ignoring the color the word itself is printed in. Sounds easy. It isn't. - You start with 7 seconds and the clock never stops - Every correct tap gives time back, but the bonus shrinks as you go - Every mistake costs you a full second - At 10 correct answers a fourth option appears, and another at 20 No levels, no loading screens. A run lasts exactly as long as you do. ONE-MINUTE SESSIONS Built for the queue at the pharmacy, the wait for a train, the ad break. Open it, play, close it. No ten-minute tutorial, no account to create. YOUR SCORE, YOUR PROBLEM The app keeps your five best runs. No global leaderboards stacked with players who've been grinding for months — the only person you need to beat is yesterday's you. 11 colors, sub-second reaction times, and a mechanic you'll understand in five seconds and still won't have mastered in a week.
