Read Out The COLOUR but Not The Words

Look at the words, from left to right, read out the COLOUR but not the words e.g. you should read GREEN instead of YELLOW fot the first word.

Difficult, isn't it? This is caused by left-right brain conflict. The brain is divided into two sides. They control different modes of thinking. The right brain is more intuitive, holistic and synthesising so it is more responsible for perceiving colours, graphics, etc. The left brain is more logical, sequential and analytical. It is more responsible for perceiving words and meanings. When you are reading the words, you right brain tries to say the colour, however you left brain insists on reading the words and this conflict causes the confusion in perception.
