Chroma by Mark Lemon

Product detailed description

Under the guise of performing a classic Stroop test, you immediately reveal a color your spectator is merely thinking of.

Mark Lemon’s Chroma mimics a classic psychology test created by John Ridley Stroop. J. R. Stroop devised a way to test people’s reactions to different stimuli. This test involves the names of colors written in a different color of ink (e.g., the color purple is written in red). He could evaluate their cognitive functions by letting people read out the names and colors.

Chroma uses a version of this test. You present a card with color names written in different inks. You ask a spectator to think of any color. You instruct them to find it in various ink colors on the card while timing them to see how fast their reactions are.

This little test doesn’t tell you exactly what person they are, but you know with 100% certainty what color they are thinking of.

The card is in English. You will also receive PDF files with the card in other languages - Japanese, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, German, French, and Greek.
