The Color Coded Challenge seems to be as popular as ever, so we're going to give it another go. This year I'm going to open things up a bit more--the color may either be named in the title or it may appear as the dominant color for the cover of the book. For "implies color" the image implying color should dominate the cover--for instance a large rainbow, a field of flowers, or the image of a painter. Get ready for a rainbow of reading in 2015.
Here are the rules:
*Read nine books in the following categories.
1. A book with "Blue" or any shade of Blue (Turquoise, Aquamarine, Navy, etc) in the title/on the cover.
2. A book with "Red" or any shade of Red (Scarlet, Crimson, Burgandy, etc) in the title/on the cover.
3. A book with "Yellow" or any shade of Yellow (Gold, Lemon, Maize, etc.) in the title/on the cover.
4. A book with "Green" or any shade of Green (Emerald, Lime, Jade, etc) in the title/on the cover.
5. A book with "Brown" or any shade of Brown (Tan, Chocolate, Beige, etc) in the title/on the cover.
6. A book with "Black" or any shade of Black (Jet, Ebony, Charcoal, etc) in the title/on the cover.
7. A book with "White" or any shade of White (Ivory, Eggshell, Cream, etc) in the title/on the cover.
8. A book with any other color in the title/on the cover (Purple, Orange, Silver, Pink, Magneta, etc.).
9. A book with a word that implies color (Rainbow, Polka-dot, Plaid, Paisley, Stripe, etc.).
* Any book read from January 1 through December 31, 2015 will count.
*Crossovers with other challenges are fine.
*Everyone who completes all nine categories will be entered in a year-end drawing for a book-related prize package.
*Please post about the challenge on your blog. Sign ups accepted until Nov 4, 2015.

New to this challenge. I've got everything planned out so hopefully that works in my favor.
Welcome, Adriana! Glad to have you joining in!
This looks great fun. It will have me thinking about what books I pick up which is always a good thing as it stops me from getting bored :) I'm in. :)
I'm so in! I love a good book challenge and am obsessed with color so this is perfect!
Hi Bev, I am signing up for it once again but had a question regarding colour words in non-European languages. Would they be allowed too?
Yaayyyy...my favorite challenge! This year I hope to add my reviews as well.
I love having color in my life. I'm back again! Thanks for hosting!
I would like to join.
Hi Bev, I have a quick question - is it OK to use ARCs from NetGalley (etc.) as books for this challenge? If not I have plenty of options, I was just wondering. Thanks!
Anja: Absolutely! The only challenge I host that will generally not recognize ARCs is my Mount TBR challenge.
Thanks for hosting this challenge. I can't wait to get going. :)
Ok, I am done now!
