Sorry, I don't see any green lettering. The title appears to be blue.

Isn't the author's name in green lettering?

Sorry to belabor this, but on TinEye the two darkest colors of this cover are both green:
2.5% #3a6c2b Green
0.9% #3e624b Green

So it seems that one of those would be the author name and the other would be the ribbon bookmark.

do you have some special info about exactly what these percentages of green are referring to? Because there's LOTS of green on this cover, that is not lettering.

No, I don't have any special info. I'm looking at the chart from TinEye and comparing those colors with the colors on the cover.

I agree with Julia - the only two dark colors that could even remotely be the author name on TinEye are both identified as green (but not the title where it agrees with Sandy that it's blue).

As I'm always a bit paranoid about tasks with colours on the cover, I just wanted to check this was okay:

Thanks, Sandy.

Thanks!

yes

Thanks Sandy!

Can I get this approved? I'm a bit color blind with green, so I ran it through tineye, and there are no yellows listed, if that helps.
