🌈 This will run all year. The template has 12 color categories.
🌈 You can make this more or less challenging by either finding books with a predominate color as part of the cover (easier) or by trying to find books that actually have a color word in the title (harder).
🌈 Use your judgement on colors. Blue could be aquamarine or Navy. Red could be scarlet or carnelian. Etc.
🌈 For Color/Colour, you can do anything that makes sense to you. Examples might be...
1) your favorite color
2) the word “color” in the title
3) a rainbow on the cover
4) something color-related, like "palette" or "clarity"
