Many details can make us able to memorize something more easily. Some people have a greater facility and others resort to techniques or strategies to be able to remember images, texts or experiences. Recently, new studies suggest that there may be certain colors that help us to better remember what we observe
The best colors for memorization
The one regret retirees can’t stop thinking about (and how you can avoid it)
Everyone can have their favorite color, for studying, memorizing or dressing. However, experts have detected that there are some colors that have certain qualities that favor memorization.
The color that leads this list is red. Red is one of the most used and loved colors. In fact, it is considered to be a key color in information retention. It is believed that this is because the brain relates this color to warning signals, which increases attention span and, therefore, the ability to memorize. It is also a color that stands out among others, which also favors the viewer’s attention
Blue is also a color that can be used for memorization. It is often used to improve reading comprehension and information retention
Green is the third color, according to experts, that helps memorization and is also key to promoting concentration and clarity. Green is ideal for general categories or classifications
Considerations to keep in mind
Studies on this subject lead to various conclusions. One of them is the potential of color to increase the chances that other environmental stimuli will be encoded, stored and retrieved correctly in our brain. However, the choice of colors can determine whether this process is successfully completed. In fact, it influences the degree to which colors affect human memory performance
Another issue that emerges from studies on memorization and colors is that the more similar the color we see when we try to remember something is to the color used during the memorization process, the easier it will be for the result to be effective. For example, if we have used a light blue to underline a text, if we want to remember it more easily, we should use that same light blue and not any other type of blue. This is related to the encoding specificity rule, which relates the close connection between encoding and retrieval processes and determines memory performance.
This is especially relevant in fields such as advertising or commerce, where tones, brightness, gradient or luminance are exact for each brand and product. This not only makes them memorable, but also unmistakable for the consumer.

College football transfer portal winners, losers: Penn State and Oklahoma improve, ACC teams implode in spring
Imagn Images The action during the college football spring transfer portal window isn't the same quantity play as the winter window, but there are still good players to be had if you know where to look, and the whims of the sport created some of the weirdest portal situations we've ever seen in this year's spring. Take, for instance, Tennessee and UCLA, which effectively traded quarterbacks in a first-of-its-kind situation. Then there's Cal, which battled both a donor revolt and an unclear leadership situation while virtually an entire position group left. All of this happened in what will probably be the last-of-its kind portal with the House v. NCAA settlement most likely scheduled for final approval within the next few weeks. It only adds to college football's uncertainty. Nico Iamaleava's Tennessee saga wasn't the professionalization of college sports—it was a train […]
Buddy Hield plays role of ‘Alfred’ in Warriors’ Game 3 win without Jimmy Butler
SAN FRANCISCO — Through 19 minutes of another slugfest, the Golden State Warriors, drowning on offense without Jimmy Butler, only had 27 points. In the four-plus minutes of the first half when Steph Curry rested, they scored zero points. They were down 12 to the Houston Rockets with less than five minutes left in the second quarter of Game 3. Their grip on the series was fading.AdvertisementThat’s when Buddy Hield jab-stepped Jabari Smith Jr. out of his vicinity, took a dribble to his left and rose for a 27-footer. Three minutes later, after a Curry miss, Hield received a kickout from Quinten Post and drained a 3 from the wing with Fred VanVleet barreling down on him. A minute later, Hield recognized an impending Curry steal before VanVleet and zoomed ahead of him in transition for a layup.Hield’s eight-point individual […]
