 * THE STUDY OF THE COMPREHENSION OF DIFFERENT TEXT COLORS**

The purpose of this study was to determine which text color was remembered the most easily. Memory is formed from all the different senses and put together by the brain. Each test subject read the excerpt (black text, blue text, green text, red text, orange text) over once, then answered the questions on the back. Blue text was the easiest to remember, and orange text was the hardest to remember. This is because blue is a dark, calming, easy to see color, and orange can be harder to see because it is light.
 * ABSTRACT**

Experiments that could be done in the future are testing whether non-fiction excerpts show the same results. This experiment could be improved by using more test subjects for each text color. This would make the results more accurate, even though each person's reading level is different.
