Kristie | 5928 comments Rainbow Challenge

For this challenge you try to read as many books with different colored covers as you can. You can choose to read one of each color or multiples (for example, 2 or 3 of each color), if you want to make it more difficult, but the goal is to read every color. Please feel free to add any additional colors you'd like to for your challenge.

Set up looks like this. Please feel free to copy and paste.

Sara Hollingsworth | 643 comments This seems interesting and nice way to help me reach my reading goal. Also, it's hard to find covers that are a majority one color so that'll be a challenge too. I think I'll try and do 3 of each color, and make sure they have to be fairly solidly that color.

That is a tough one! I think it looks more green too.

I checked on tineye. They say it is mostly (77.9%) green. http://labs.tineye.com/color/34e2c308...


If you ever want to check on a cover, you can find the color extractor here: http://labs.tineye.com/color/ Just make sure to uncheck the box that says "Exclude background color from extracted colors." For some reason, the default is to have that checked. You definitely don't need to use it, but it's a cool resource sometimes.
