Abstract

The purpose of my project is to see if color affects readability. I took note cards with different color names written in black and in color. From there I timed people and saw how fast they could read each one and calculated the difference. 7 out of the 20 people I tested actually read the words in color faster than the words in black whereas the other 14 people read the words in black faster, as expected. I think having a bigger sample size and or more words to test with would take this project to another level.
