## Question
**Brain Test Level 16:** Find the darkest color on the screen
## Answer
Tap the black text — it is the darkest color displayed on the screen.

Don't look at the colored objects. The darkest color on the entire screen is the black text used in the question or UI. Tap any black text element.
Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 16:
1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection.
2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself.
3. Tap the black text — it is the darkest color displayed on the screen.
4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers.
## Why It's Tricky
Brain Test Level 16 is designed to catch players who think too literally or too logically. The game's core mechanic is to subvert expectations. Most players fail this level on their first try because they approach it with conventional thinking. The key insight is that the game often uses the question text, physical phone gestures, or visual misdirection as part of the puzzle. Once you understand that Brain Test breaks the fourth wall regularly, these puzzles become much more manageable.
## Why This Level Is Tricky
Don't worry if this level stumps you at first — Brain Test's opening puzzles are specifically designed to reset how you think about mobile games. The trick is usually simpler than you expect. Take a breath, re-read the question word by word, and remember that the obvious answer is almost never correct in Brain Test. These early levels (1-50) teach you Brain Test's fundamental trick vocabulary: literal wordplay, tapping hidden elements, and questioning obvious answers. Master these patterns now — they recur throughout the entire game.
