About Color Quiz
Color Quiz is a quick visual reaction game built around the famous Stroop effect. The name of a colour is shown, but written in a different colour. You tap or click the correct ink colour, not the word. Sounds easy. Plays surprisingly tricky — your brain wants to read the word, not see the ink.
The Stroop effect is one of the most studied phenomena in cognitive science. The conflict between automatic reading and deliberate visual perception is exactly what Color Quiz drills. Playing it regularly trains your attention to over-ride automatic responses — which translates into real focus benefits in any task that requires deliberate concentration.
This Color Quiz plays free in the browser with smooth touch and mouse input. There is no sign-up, no installer and no microtransactions. Your highest score is stored locally between sessions. It is the perfect five-minute focus drill before deep work — a small mental warm-up that punches above its weight.

— Strategy & tips
How to win
- Look at the colour, not the word. The trick is in fighting your reading reflex.
- Squint slightly. Blurring the word forces your eye to focus on the ink instead.
- Tap rhythmically. Hesitant taps break the focus chain.
- Practise daily for measurable focus benefits.
- Stop when frustrated. The game punishes tilt more than fatigue.
