Scientists Say Your Brain Won’t Remember The Color Of Her Popsicle. Can YOURS?

If there's one thing I feel really confident about, it's my eye for colors. Between turquoise, teal, and aquamarine, I can spot the differences from a mile away.

That is, I thought I could before I took this test…

There are a lot of quizzes that test your vision — and some that even use your eyes to reveal secrets about your personality — but this is by far one of the toughest tests I've ever taken.

According to a recent study conducted by scientists Johns Hopkins University, our brains are great at noticing color differences, but not so good at remembering them. Instead of memorizing shades — like burgundy, maroon, or crimson — our brains will simply tag a color as "red."

So we here at LittleThings decided to put this study to the test! We've chosen three photos, selected one specific object in each, and pulled a few shades of that color.

To take the test, focus on the object we point out, then study the shades. Will your brain remember the exact shade of the object? Let us know your results in the comments below!
