Does this book work for the task....?

[Dev]

i think it is picking up the area where the yellow letters blend into the blue background as a small amount of that green color so i personally wouldn't count it. i think it's only happening because that image is blurry and in a clearer image it wouldn't show up at all

[Alysa]

I don't see any green either. I thought TinEye might say the "Digging Chewing Barking..." in the yellow circle was green, but no. It seems like it's picking up trace "green" in the background on the TinEye Color Map Regions :(

[Melissa]

😭
True though! I think it is picking up on some trace greens.
Thanks for checking it out for me!

[Cinthia]

TinEye does say there's green, but I can't find it anywhere in the cover... I think they somehow made a mistake on this one. The lettering looks blue to me. You can even go to amazon and it will show the cover more clearly. It's possible the lettering in the small circle is green, but it would be a different green than what tineye says, so I don't think it is.

Tineye can get things wrong (often, I find!), especially when the source image is very small.

I've noticed. Sometimes I'm looking for a color for a challenge and just want to double check that it's more than 50%, and then tineye claims it's a different color altogether!

[Jen]

I've got a problem. The goodreads file on the book I read for task 7 looks like this:
If you ask me, based on the gif, the cover looks dark blue.

However, I am holding the book in my hand and the thing is black. I've shown it to several people and they have all agreed there is no possible way you could think it was any other color. Is there a way I can upload a photo here or something so I can get a ruling?
I know I'm supposed to use Tintype, but I am a computer moron and couldn't figure out how to take a photo of a book cover that 1) didn't involve a shadow of me taking the photo, which would mess with the color, and 2) didn't either cut off part of the cover or include stuff on the periphery that wasn't part of the cover, either of which would mess with the formula. Like I said, computer moron.

[Jenny]

Maybe take a picture of it and add it to the pictures on your profile page, and then ask a mod to look at it?

I just looked at Tineye, and it says 90% midnight blue.

[Jen]

I have done as Jenny suggested and posted the photo to my profile. Please let me know. I'm feeling rather frustrated as when the task said, "Black book", I picked it off of the shelf, (my husband even made the Spinal Tap joke "How much more black could it be? None. None more black.") and now I feel like I am being told I have to trust a computer over my own eyes.

I had the same problem, with the book I wanted to read being called grey by tineye, even though in reality it's absolutely, unequivocally black.
opting for an easy life, I picked another book instead. I regret this choice now, as I'm not enjoying it, lol.

I've already finished mine, unfortunately. I was certain about the color so I didn't think to ask anyone.

[Lau]

Do you consider this house to be "nasty?



Thanks in advance

[Cinthia]

We need an input for Lau's nasty house book.

[Lau]

Nope, it doesn't matter, I've found another :)
Thanks anyway Cinthia

[Judith]

Do people consider Ubie a nickname that Charley Davidson uses for her Uncle Bob, or is it still an honorific since it’s a mash up of Uncle and Bob and therefore ‘fruit of the poisoned tree’ so to speak?

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

I'd say "yes" Judith. NIcknames aren't formal, they're usually terms of endearment and this is the context that Charley uses it in .

[Jenny]

I'd say yes too, but she is on my team, so...

[✿~Danielle~✿]

I agree to it being a nickname.

[Sammy]

Yes, I think it works as a nickname too.

[Judith]

Thanks everyone!

Is this book bright green enough?

[Lexi]

Emma (M) wrote: "Is this book bright green enough?

I do not think so. I checked Tineye and the main color is Viridian at 41.1%, which is defined as "blue-green pigment, a hydrated chromium(III) oxide, of medium saturation and relatively dark in value"

[Emma (M)]

Ok, thanks :)

[Elena]

Hi everyone! Do you think this cover has enough bright green in it to pass?



Thank you!

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Hi everyone. Do you think this cover works for bright green? Tineye has 60.1 % - Spring Bud (Green)



Thanks in advance :-)

[Laura]

I believe a few of those Cat Who books have been approved, including this one!

Elena, since no one else has answered. That book is 54.8% green if you add every possible green together and that is six different shades of green. The most common shade is green leaf green at 15.9% and the internet defines this as a medium dark shade of green (https://encycolorpedia.com/526b2d). Without that shade, the other greens do not cross 50% so I vote no but others can comment.

Jen, did you get an answer? Just by chance, I saw your book as a hardback at the library and the copy here looks black or a very dark blue depending on the light. It is not the bright blue of the picture but mine wasn't black though that does not really help yours any.

I vote yes. It is over 50% green, and even if there are different shades in there, the overall look is bright.

Thanks, Lexi :)

[Jenny]

Elena, I have that paperback, and I just looked at it. I think it is too dark of a green. Sorry.

[Jenny]

Carmen, yes on yours.

Thank you, Jenny! No worries, I have one of the approved covers for backup :)

[JanEyre9]

Think this is green enough?

[Lexi]

Tineye says it is 54.9% green if you add all the greens together. The top two greens are Olive Green and Wild Willow and are lighter greens, but Saratoga and Seaweed are really dark and add up to 11% so probably no. Also, the overall cover just doesn’t seem that bright or neon to me. Let others comment as well.

[Alysa]

I agree with Lexi.

[Jenny]

Looks more like a refrigerator from the 70's. Too avocado, sorry.

[JanEyre9]

Hahaha. Thanks ladies!

[Judith]

While I don't think the green is bring enough for the task, I do want to say I found that book to be excellent. Recommend

[Cinthia]

JanEyre9 wrote: "

I personally would say yes, but I think I'm in the minority here. As long as it's at least 50% green and the overall appearance is bright, I'm fine with it.

I'm finding players and mods in this particular game seem to be a bit stricter than in other games I've played. The idea is to have fun, but sometimes it's a bit too strict.

For Round 3

Book with a skull or other poison logo on the cover?

[Linda C]

Round 3

9 that has the letters A-R-S-E-N-I-C in the title ( in any order)

Can I use Spying on the South: Travels with Frederick Law Olmsted in a Fractured Land? It fits if I include the subtitle.

I just found another book that works for this number but would still like to know if subtitles work, for future reference

That works as the mods said any human skull will do

[Lau]

I would say yes for both

thanks, I missed that

[Melanie]

Would you consider the dress the woman is wearing to be yellow? Tineye is saying it's brown, but I have the book in front of me and it looks yellow to me.

[Lexi]

The belt part looks most yellow to me and I would call the dress golden, which tineye tends to call brown. I consider gold yellow but would let others comment.
