Why play this theme
Color words are short and familiar, so rounds move fast and even brand-new typists can keep up and stay in the flow.
The theme is a great confidence builder. Clearing words quickly feels rewarding, which encourages new players to try a harder theme next.
A few longer shades like turquoise and magenta appear to keep faster typists challenged, so the theme still works in a competitive room.
Because the vocabulary is so simple, colors is an ideal warm-up round before switching to mythology, cities, or space for a bigger challenge.
