I think the colors of the 8 and 9 should be transposed.

Well, regardless of the stuttering, I think the “6” is the wrong color. All the other even numbers are the colors they would be if you combined the surrounding odd numbers. That’s my take, and I’m sticking to it.

Can You Spot Mistake

Yes. When speaking broken English, it should read "Can you spotting mistake?"

"You can to spotting mistake?" is also acceptable.

The number 9 is the wrong color in the order of the rainbow.

Overwrought presentation of an old teaser.

BTW: humans do need to filter & assume, lest they suffer analysis paralysis. Such riddles and puzzles take advantage of those self imposed limits.
