TT2-JUNE/JULY Challenge: 7% Solution - or 49 in 49. (Rules, Categories, etc.)
Do the cover colors actually have to match the team name? Like... Cerulean Blue has to be a specific shade of blue, it can't just be blue?
Um, sometimes LK/Mods post the team color door and compare with it. I'm not sure if it applies to Cerulean Blue but I have seen it for Magenta Mix-Up. And I realized I'm rubbish at identifying colors.
Well, yeah, I know for harder colors (bronze, magenta, etc) it can be tough to know what shades to go for but I'm mostly curious about the common ones, like green or blue. Does it have to be "cadet" blue, or "pewter" or "cerulean" or "lime green"? Or can it just be "blue" or "green"? It's something I just took for granted as being "blue/green" (whatever) and never thought too indepth about until I saw the 'cerulean' blue question. I think we have bronze and wild blue yonder as our before/after teams. Well, I sure don't know what "wild blue" is, so I just chose basic blue covers.
Oh, I hadn't thought of it like that. I'll wait for the mods too.

Does it have to be "cadet..."I'm curious about this too as we've got electric lime, and I'm not sure whether any green will do or whether it needs to be specifically lime!

Moonstone has a lot of blues, greens, lavender, greyish-white, such as:
...so, we'll take any of those colors.
With lime, we want a green that looks close in color to the door, not a pastel or a deep forest green. However, we will allow it in the title only, as described below:
A color doesn't necessarily have to be predominant, but it should "pop" on the cover.
So far, the hardest color to make a determination on is mauve.
When in doubt, post it as a question and we will make a decision.
Due to the difficulty of finding mauve, lime, tangerine (orange), and bronze, we will allow those colors to appear in titles. Or where the color "pops."-------------------Repeated Info Follows---------------------
Acceptable Examples: (color respective to above order)
IN ADDITION:
Since Atomic Tangerine is such a difficulty color to find, even in the title of a book, we will allow Orange Prize books to be counted for this color.

If you are posting what you are planning to read, you should do it in our (Hobbit) team thread.

Sorry if anyone else asked this but, if a player finishes a book the same day that someone else, on another team, finished the same book, can it still be counted for Behind Enemy lines?
Mary, yes it can. I asked LK the same q earlier and she said yes.
Cool. I figured someone asked. It's not like the other team can't use ours too for the same category.
Does the Sydney Opera House count as a "famous monument" for a book cover for #6 or Sydney as a favorite "holiday/vacation" setting?
Mod
"Definitely. Both.
Checking on some colors. Would any of these work for...Bronze:
(The motion picture bar looks really close to the Bronze swatch on wikipedia!)
B'Dazzled Blue:
I *love* that cover for
. I think someone on my team posted book 1 a few weeks ago and much drooling ensued. I wonder if my library has those books. Probably not.
Mod
for the pink /magenta covers .Jenny"Approved for Magenta Mix-up.

"Approved for Blast-Off Bronze. Changing the Game has an antique brushed bronze background that Teresa probably was too distracted to notice.

Thanks! 
Just have a quick question to the mods (forgive me if it's a dumb one): I know some groups have finished this challenge, but would we still receive extra books if we finish it now? I'm not sure if the competition was to finish first, or just finish the time period given.Thank you lovely mods! <3
Mod
We will award each Team reaching the goal four (4) additional books/points. Any Team that completes at least three (3) of the categories, for a total of 21 books, will receive a one (1) book advantage.
Will these books qualify for magenta mix up as color behind?

Could P.D. James count as a 7 letter author or do the 7 letters need to be all in one part of the name for Category 7?
Mod
Yes, we'll take P.D. James as a 7 letter author.
Would

Thanks Mod! For the last book you don't have to worry about it. I was thinking more aquamarine too, but I like to know for when I shift things around and I have another place to use it.
