Colour Pairs: Match the Colour Change
Today's big idea
Keep the shape, copy the colour
Only the colour changes across the pair.
How it works
👀 What's going on?
Traffic lights teach colour pairs early: green means go, red means stop, and the pairing never breaks. Some analogies work on colour in just that steady way.
💡 Here's the trick
In a colour analogy the shape stays the same, but the colour changes from the first figure to the second. Find that colour change and give the third figure the very same new colour.
- 1.Look at the first pair and name the colour change (blue turned red).
- 2.Keep the third figure's shape exactly as it is.
- 3.Change only its colour, the same way.
✍️ Try it
- 1. : :: : ?
- 2. : :: : ? In pair 1 blue turned red, so a becomes a . In pair 2 green turned yellow, so a becomes a .
⚠️ Watch out
Change the colour, not the shape. A is wrong when the third figure is a square — keep the square and just recolour it.

⚡ Time to play!
See how the colour changes from the first figure to the second. Drag the figure that does the same to the third.
Drag the figure that completes the pair
