For the first book, does it have to have all 3? The book I am considering is After She's Gone, but TinEye says it is only black and grey.
Does the penguin logo for penguin publishing disqualify this book from being just black/white/gray?
I have another similar question to my last one - if a book has a badge on the front like "Now a movie on Netflix" or a national book award medal or something, does that disqualify it from being black and white or do you just count the picture and lettering of the cover?
Mod
Nope, it can be just black, just white, just gray, or any combo thereof. I mainly added gray, because it can be so hard to distinguish dark gray and black.
Mod
"yes - no colors.
Mod
again, no colors.
Mod
"the first two are ok. The 3d won't work - I wondered about the author name and tineye shows it as being 7.8% blue.
It may just me being slow today, but I'm a bit confused about option two. Could the cover have a drawing or a photo on it which would have more than three colours by default? E.g.
or
And if so, I'm not quite sure how pointing out the colours would work, or does it need to be run through TinEye?
Or does it need to be a cover with individual blocks of colour or a simple illustration, rather than a picture, more like.
(cream, red, blue) or
(yellow, red, green)
Mod
[bookcover:The T..."
Specify 3 colors that are found on the cover. I don't work with "by default." Ex, just made up - red and blue stripes found in the curtains, green leaves on the shrubbery.
Okey dokey. Thanks. So for this one:
, something like blue sky, yellow on the awning, red brick, brown dog should do the trick.

"yep. I checked it on tineye, and it's all black and shades of gray.

Perfect thank you!
Just double checking on
...Tineye just listed various greys but better safe than sorry. Thanks!
Mod
...Tineye just listed various greys but better safe than sorry. Thanks!"If tineye just listed grays, then it's fine.

Thanks!
According to tin eye. this book has grey plus blue, pink, red, yellow and orange, so it works for book 2?
Thanks.
Andy
For book 1, I've got:
all grey
black and grey
black and greyAll per tin eye so OK?
Thanks,
Andy
Mod

Sure, I'll be using tineye to verify, so if tineye gives you these results, you're good to go!

thanks
Could I read two books of poetry under 100 pages to fulfill this task?
Mod
Please read the Rules of the Challenge
"3. Books must have at least 100 pages to be used for points in the SRC. This limit may be referenced as 100+.
Only 2 plays or 2 books of poetry may be combined to reach the 100 page minimum."
This is what I've got for book 1. According to Tineye, it's 100% gray.
Is it ok?
Thank you.
Mod
Is it ok?
Thank you."
sure

Ooh, that looks interesting. WIll have to see if I can find a copy.
For book 1, if Tineye says a cover is 100% grey and white, does that take precedence over what might appear to be a color?
I'm concerned about the author's last name and the dot on the i in "white" since those look more pink than grey to me.
Tineye says:
31.1 %#72787cGrey
22.7 %#c7d0d5Grey
20.2 %#a1a9aeGrey
13.1 %#434549Grey
12.9 %#fcfcfcWhite
The Kindle edition
has45.0 %#66696cGrey
22.4 %#d0d6d9Grey
20.8 %#a5acafGrey
11.5 %#fdfdfdWhite
0.1 %#c3aaabGrey
on Tineye, where the color bar for the 0.1% also looks pink to me, but at least that edition has a separate color code for the dot.
(I have the paperback, but I was curious whether all the covers would map the same. The images don't look that different to me.)
Mod

I would go with what tineye says, since colors can look different on the computer. Just post the tineye results and that will be fine.

Thanks!
I've had similar results from TinEye where I would swear that a certain color is green, but TinEye says grey. It was a grey-green, but apparently, it fell on the grey side of the spectrum. It is what it is. At least with TinEye we can point to a fact instead of an opinion.
Just verifying that
works for Option 1. tintype lists this as the colors:35.1 %#3e4244Grey
20.8 %#7e7e7eGrey
20.5 %#e7e5e0Grey
17.6 %#abaaa7Grey
6.0 %#a38b80Grey
so the grey-brown strip on the left is labelled
6.0 %#a38b80Grey
Thanks!

That's fine - I have no trouble going with tineye!
Would this work for option 1? The light color looks whitish/greyish but I'm not sure. Thanks!
Mod
"The easiest way for you to check this is to use tineye. I just checked, and it only shows black, white and gray, so you're okay
Mod
(I have this copy)?"according to tineye, that works
So I'm considering to listen to this audiobook:
- can we ignore the 'Bolinda' (green) branding or does that also count?
Mod
- can we ignore the 'Bolinda' (green) branding or does that also count?"sorry, everything on the cover counts

Mod

This is a two book task.
Book 1 – read a book with black/white/gray cover - no other colors on the cover.
Book 2 –read a book with at least 3 different colors on the cover (not including black, white, gray). The book may have these colors on the cover, but there must be at least three other colors.
REQUIRED: Include the covers in your post. For book 2, point out the three required colors.
