There is renewed interest by psychologists in mental imagery. While practical uses of imagery are being rapidly developed, there still remains a great deal to learn about imaging itself. One aspect of imaging is color. A review of the literature provided no research data as to which colors were easiest or hardest to image. Using the method of pair comparisons, an interval scale was devised, indicating the relative ease with which various colors could be imaged. The final scale, from easiest to most difficult to image, was black, red, yellow, blue, green, white, orange and finally purple. Implications for image training are suggested.
