I had to look at the html source where you said “Try to say aloud the color—not the meaning, but the color—of the following letter-string: “GREEN”″ because I’m colorblind and I couldn’t tell what color it was. Small amounts of red or green appear to be BOTH red and green simultaneously haha (show me a giant field of green and I can tell it’s green most of the time, but show me a dot of green on a field of white and I have no clue, same with red). I guess that really isn’t relevant to anything said here, I just thought it was funny considering the point of the exercise.
Same here. I had to look at the HTML source for the color code: #ff3300. But I figured that it wasn’t green before I looked, because I guess I had been primed to expect it not to be the case. At least I think I did.

Yeah. Somebody should change it to Blue. Blue-Yellow colour-blindess is far more rare than red-green, so more people would “get” the example ;)

Same here. Though the fact that I initially thought it was green, then managed to resolve it as red is probably a good example of priming in itself.
