5.5 – 50 years ago.
In 1963, one of the top summer hits was “Blue on Blue” recorded by Bobby Vinton. Blue on Blue.
Read a book with one of the color words from Microsofts's Basic Color List in the title/subtitle of the book. NOTE: Adjectives, "light," "dark," "bright," "medium," and "sky", do not count as color words, even if they are a part of the color designation such as "light blue." Plural and possessive forms of the color word work, no other variations.

"grey" works as an alternate selling of "gray."

Bec (foreverfnm) | 132 comments Just wondering if we can use the UK spelling of the word gray? Cause I would like to read The Grey Man... I know it says no other variations, but it is the same word...

that's fine, it's a common alternate. I was thinking more words that vary the basic word.

Sorry, the only variations allowed are plurals and possessives.
