Tower Teams X - Build towers based on past TT challenges!

This is an optional mini challenge which will run for the whole period of Tower Teams X.

1. Rainbow Towers
Using as many shades of colours as possible from the list below, create a rainbow tower using book cover colours.
You do not have to read for every colour, you do not have to differentiate between bright or dark, but it needs to be a clear rainbow, with at least ten colours (which means at least 10 books).

Got a tower together of rainbow colours? Start a new rainbow! At the end of TT each team can receive points for each complete rainbow tower.

You can also receive bonus points for creating a tower with all 18 colours. You can only do this once for bonus points.

Cover Colours:
White
Bright pink
Dark pink
Bright red
Dark red
BROWN

Bright green
Dark green
TEAL
Dark blue

Black

Points: 100 points per complete rainbow tower
A bonus 200 points for creating a tower with all 18 colours (so a total of 300 points. You can do this once during TTX)

2. Crayola Towers
Use the below Crayola colours and spell-it-out. Each name can only be spelled out once. At the end of TT each team will receive points for any name that has been completely spelled out, plus one partially completed word.

- Atomic Tangerine
- Blast Off Bronze
- Cadet Blue
- Cerulean
- Electric Lime
- Leather Jacket Black
- Mango Tango
- Mauvelous

Your books need to relate in some way to that Tower Team name. Be creative!

Some examples under spoiler
(view spoiler)

◈ Each book read can only be used for one task.
◈ Books used for your core tower of 223 books can also be used for this mini.
◈ Books can be started at any point since the start of Tower Teams X (May 1)
◈ The usual Tower Team book length rules apply

SPELL-IT-OUT RULES
Spell out the word(s) using the first letter in the book's title, the first letter in the author's first or last name, or the first letter of a character's first, last, or nick-name, or the first letter of the series name.
As always, if the first letter of a title starts with an indefinite or definite article ('A', 'An', 'The', etc.), you may use the first letter of the second word in the title to spell out your chosen word.
If the first letter of a title is a numerical digit, then you use the first letter of that digit for your spell out (i.e. 1984 is N; 2046 is T; 1Q84 is O)
If you are listening to an audiobook, the first letter in the narrator's first or last name also can be used.
We're also allowing for Translators names, as long as the edition you are reading is a translation version.
