What will be an ideal response?


While people look at an array of words, they generally find it easier to read the words than to say the color of ink for each word. The difference is especially strong if the words refer to colors and the ink is of a different color. For example, people find it difficult to look at the word YELLOW in blue ink and say "blue" instead of "yellow.".
