Can you find the eleven hidden colours in the following paragraph:
Many injured animals are invited to live at the 'Toronto Range'. Stop in kangaroo corner and marvel at the lovely creatures within. Dig over the potato patch to find small furry caterpillars, but don't yell! Owls can be found swooping for edible rodents, earwigs or perhaps bluebottles in the undergrowth. The brown bear, Rob, lacks grace and may look like an ogre, enter at your own risk! Peacocks can be found showing their colourful wares, which look fantastic when viewed with our ultraviolet torch.

Interesting but soo easy
Yeah, but it was fun. I think the point of it was to get it right.
red in there twice...injuRED
C'mon...ultraviolet is a color...
yes, red is in there twice. also, (aside from the red thing), there are actually TWELVE colours in the paragraph... you forgot about the word "COLOUR" itself! hehehe.. =)
Aside from the red thing (which I also noticed), and the fact that blue, brown and violet were completely obvious, GR8 TEASER!
I thought it was kind of hard at first but it was fun.
love it.
A very nice teaser, good for the many diverse language skill levels here at Braingle. It is this diversity and not individualistic perspectives that I find most appealing here. And it is appealing to that diversity that is the challenge for contributors. So well done.
Got them all ,besides in digo and I just gave up nice teaser
brilliant!
easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
Good teaser! Despite what some people have saids about "brown" being obvious, it was the third last one I found! Keep up the great work
that was great i loved it..right up my ally .great job ..and im skimpy on the complimants,,,
This was kind of easy, but since I didn't find all of them, it was kind of hard. It really was a good test of patience to make sure I found them all. Each time I read the paragraph, I'd find another. Good job.

OK, I missed "olive", but you didn't count "peacock" - it's a shade of blue.
Nice little challenge first thing in the a.m.

I really liked this one.
Fun brain teaser, but no one mentioned that PEA is also a color, so there are 12
Got all but Olive and Indigo. I guess I deal in primaries only.. Ha Good One.
Not too bad
enjoyable but easy
Darn the colors OLIVE and INDIGO! I didn't find them. I assumed you must have been referring to Peacock (blue?) and Pea (as in pea green) as colors.
I must have read that paragraph 6 times!
Thanks for a fun morning!

I missed olive and indigo too, but ah well! It was well done! Keep em coming!
I got all but olive, but olived it anyway.
That was fun!
I agree with OldChinaHand; we have to remember that we're not all from the USA. Also, to expand on that, we're all different ages, too, and what might be really easy for a 30-year old could be difficult for an 8-year old...and vice-versa, believe me...!
And thanks, Ninjaxdream, for the Canadian/British spelling of "colourful"!

I had to print it out and go from there.
What a FUN one! Thanx!!!
What a FUN one! Thanx!!!
it was such a fun teaser, I didn't find the red that you had listed because it was the first thing I found in inju(red), so I wasn't looking for it!
Got 10 of them! I missed black. I had wondered if it was a trick since red's in there twice.
YAY
fun word "serch"
got all the obips ones......lol

got all the obips ones......lol
This was fun! I also had to print it out so I could circle as I went. I found 11 but included two reds and peacock. I missed black and green. I guess if you included pea as a color there could really be 13! Keep up the good work!
i liked that one! it was easy and hard at the same time
Olive?! I don't think that's a good color. You should try to use more well known colors. But otherwise good.
I really liked this one! I missed pink but put in Pea as in pea green. Good one!
I LOVE teasers like this! ! They make me excited. Submit more!
Guess I wasn't the only one who saw the second 'red'! Aside from that, this was great fun, had to actually wake up to see it!
Got all except Indigo. Fine teaser. WTG.
Inju(RED) bothered me too.
Nice one, missed olive and indigo, but found both reds so I thought I was only missing one.
Very nice job. I like word searches like this and for me it was very easy. You had a very nice theme to write about however. More please?
I enjoyed that. I also saw two "red"s, noted that "peacock" is a colour, and can keep the others company in missing "olive"... but thinking I had 11 already (plus an extra red), I stopped looking.
At one point though, just for fun, I decided to try looking backwards... and I saw poo!! That can be a colour too!
(Oh dear. )

OH yeah and: I appreciate seeing "colour" spelled that way! WOOHOO!
Qrystal... naughty, naughty...
I also missed olive, but got the rest. Great job!!

I guess all the little ones will enjoy this when they get home from school.Way to easy for anybody over 12.
that was hard cause this is my first teaser @braingle
Not too easy, not too hard. Just the way I like them.
Olive stumped me! I was trying to find purple or white for the 11th.
It was a really fun teaser!

Fun even though I missed olive. Great job!
I really liked this teaser, and I got
Brown, Voilet, Pink, and another easy one.

blue was the other one, sorry for double posting.
Color Wonderful!!!
very colorful--its good
Ummmm....puting red in here twice doesn't count as 11 colors, it's only 10!
@ Bookworm - They weren't counting red twice. There are 11 unique colors listed above.
I loved this teaser! Easy Peesy, but if there really was a Toronto Range, I'd go there!
Enjoyable one and challenging. Fun!
Fun! Thanks for posting.
If one considers "pea" to be a color, there are 13 colors in the passage, not counting the dual occurrence of "red," and not counting the word "colour,": red, olive, orange, pink, indigo, vert (a shade of green), yellow, blue, brown, black, green, pea (another shade of green), and violet. So there.
A little too easy.
technically there is only 10 colors cos red has been used twice.
This type is not my cup of tea, but I see a lot of people like them.
I only had energy/patience for the first 6 as I started my Saturday routine-loved the giggle feeling when I saw them! thank you!
I thought it was well planned and fun.
I missed indigo but I really enjoyed this one. Thx I was looking for other things too, like food or animals but didn't come up with a whole lot of either. Just really enjoyed this one. I said that didn't I

Actually the correct answer to the question posed is...
"YES"
The question was... "Can you find the eleven hidden colours in the following paragraph:"
"YES"

How did I miss "Black?!"
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got them all fairly quickly.
Nice fun teaser, thanks!
Simple & well written, even though I was able to find well more than the listed 11 colours?
