those are both fine, Kathy.
ETA -how weird! When I did the "reply" it showed a different cover than the one you posted - anyway, the ones you actually posted are fine!

Goodreads did that cover thing to me before too.
It is WEIRD!!

Thanks

yes, it looks green on my computer too.

thanks Sandy ;)

This one works. for green

This one doesn't look predominantly green.

and for blue"

This one works.

Would the following authors work for Green: Graham Greene, Melissa Fay Greene or Michael Greenberg?

Green Options? Let me know if some of these dont work! I found tons for blue but green is trickier!!

is this enough green. its more of a sea green in the middle and really light.

sure, if the middle is light green, that works. Hard to tell on the computer, but we all know how different the books can look in person!

Does this have enough green?


Thanks:)

yes it does

Would these work? Blue: and Green:

Are these blue and green enough, respectively?

Sarah wrote: "Are these blue and green enough, respectively?

the blue one is fine.

The Graceling cover you posted doesn't really look like a green cover. (the hp cover that GR decided to substitute is much more green looking, but I still wouldn't consider it predominantly green)

Thanks Sandy
is the french version, but basically the one I posted is just like it, as far as the cover-image and colour goes. The English Images all seem to be very dark, it isn't though on my edition...?

How about ?

Thanks!

Jayme VA wrote: "How about ?

Thanks!"

looks pretty green to me!

Thanks Sandy!

Is this green enough ?

Sue T wrote: "Is this green enough ?"

yes - it definitely "reads" green.

ETA - this GR bug is really funny - to look at the cover they decided to post, and read my comments makes me seem REALLY out of it!

Sandy wrote: "Sue T wrote: "Is this green enough ?"

LOL... That's a completely different author! Same title, though... The bug is annoying, but it's also strangely entertaining. ;-)

does this have enough blue?

by John Green

too bad we can't combine the two!

yes.

Thanks, Sandy. Don't know what to make of this bug, but at least now the covers are staying on the same line.

Double-checking that these work:

[bookcover:Hope: A Tragedy]"

they're fine

This picture makes the cover look more blue than green, but it's definitely more green then blue in person.

I just wanted to make sure if it works for this task.

sure, just remind me when you post the completed task that it's really more green in person. Even on the computer, I can see how it could be either.

Thanks, Sandy. :)

Does this count as 50%? If so would you count it as blue or green?

on the computer, it looks blue, and plenty of it!

(ETA: as shown in the original post, not this one!)

I was wondering if this book is green enough?

Mariya wrote: "I was wondering if this book is green enough? "

yes

is this good for either blue or green?
