In addition to Valy Dia's solution, you can also write:

list.sliding(2).exists(_.distinct.size == 1)

REPL Session

scala> def check[A](l: Seq[A]): Boolean = l.sliding(2).exists(_.distinct.size == 1)
check: [A](l: Seq[A])Boolean

scala> check("A" :: "B" :: Nil)
res0: Boolean = false

scala> check("A" :: "B" :: "B" ::Nil)
res1: Boolean = true

scala> check("A" :: "B" :: "C":: "B" ::Nil)
res2: Boolean = false

You can try:

def check[A](l: List[A]): Boolean = 
 l.zip(l.tail).exists case (x,y) => x == y 

check(List("Black","Black","Green","White"))
//res5: Boolean = true

check(List("Black","Yellow","Green","White"))
//res6: Boolean = false

check(List("Black","Yellow","Black","Yellow"))
//res7: Boolean = false

  Your case expression is wrong - a::b binds a to the head and b to the tail so a == b is always false since you're comparing a String to a List[String]. You can replace the map/contains with exists i.e. listA.sliding(2).exists case a::b::_ => a == b .

You can try:

 l.zip(l.tail).exists case (x,y) => x == y 

check(List("Black","Black","Green","White"))
//res5: Boolean = true

check(List("Black","Yellow","Green","White"))
//res6: Boolean = false

check(List("Black","Yellow","Black","Yellow"))
//res7: Boolean = false
