Color is the aspect of things that is caused by differing qualities of light being reflected or emitted by them.
To see color, you have to have light. When light shines on an object some colors bounce off the object and others are absorbed by it. Our eyes only see the colors that are bounced off or reflected.
The sun’s rays contain all the colors of the rainbow mixed together. This mixture is known as white light. When white light strikes a white crayon or marker barrel, it appears white to us because it absorbs no color and reflects all color equally. A black crayon or marker cap absorbs all colors equally and reflects none, so it looks black to us. While artists consider black a color, scientists do not because black is the absence of all color.
All light rays contain color. Light is made of electromagnetic waves. These waves spread out from any light source, such as the sun. Light waves travel at tremendous speed (186,000 miles or 300,000 kilometers per second). Different colors have different wavelengths, which is the distance between corresponding parts of two of the waves. The longest wavelength of light that humans can see is red. The shortest is violet. Ultraviolet has an even shorter wavelength, but humans cannot see it. Some birds and bees can see ultraviolet light. Infrared has a longer wavelength than red light, and humans can not see this light but can feel the heat infrared generates.

January 11th, 2025. The mad scientist known as Mr. Bleach has found a way to manipulate light affecting the electromagnetic waves of the visible spectrum. White light has become a monotone compilation of wavelengths which are only visible as a single unit. This has created an achromatic spectrum without color only dominated by multiple grey scales. Sadness and dullness are generating caos and affecting all humanity!
Your mission if you choose to accept it is help renown private investigator Sherlock Holmes to re-identify the color’s classification and the three principal color attributes in order to once again recompose the 12 step color-wheel for humanity.
Sherlock has already departed in this mission, but good for us, he left clues hidden in this page for us to follow. Be very observant and hope you are able to restore colors for humanity! We are completely sure that with your color skills and knowledge in design principles, you will be able to help Mr. Holmes in this ordeal.
In order to find the clues Sherlock left for us in his library, we must unlock the first lock which remains hidden in the background story of this game. Once you find the answer for that clue, you must input it in the form below. Only once the correct answer has been entered, a new form will appear with a second hint for the next lock. You will repeat this process over and over until you have completed the 6 questions. Only then you have restored color to humanity!
I hope you had fun and enjoyed the game.
