Familiar shape. Unexpected color.

Twenty-four original object illustrations

The collection covers kitchen items, clothing, travel objects, music gear, toys, and household pieces. It includes an apple, mug, umbrella, city car, balloon, notebook, camera, guitar, lamp, backpack, kite, sofa, teapot, sneaker, cap, bicycle, cupcake, leaf, toy rocket, clock, vase, raincoat, headphones, and suitcase.

Each item is drawn from local SVG paths and basic shapes. The artwork does not load product photographs, retail listings, manufacturer designs, or recognizable commercial branding. One clearly named region—such as the mug body, umbrella canopy, camera case, bicycle frame, or headphone band—responds to the color controls.

Why everyday objects create a fair memory test

Many flags have learned color associations, and people may remember that a familiar character usually wears a particular costume. Everyday objects have fewer fixed answers. A backpack can be navy, yellow, pink, or green, so the object’s identity does not reveal the reference.

This shifts attention toward episodic visual memory: what did this specific illustration look like a few seconds ago? The object remains visible during guessing, preserving shape and context while removing only the selected color.

Look for relationships, not numbers

You never need to memorize an HSL value. Instead, compare the target with the fixed details around it. Was the umbrella warmer than its handle? Was the camera body lighter than its lens? Did the guitar body look more saturated than the wooden neck?

Those relationships often survive after an exact shade fades from memory. Rebuild the broad hue first, then saturation, then lightness. The side-by-side result reveals which part of that observation was accurate.
