THIS IS A CHALLENGE CACHE. The cache is at the posted coordinates, but may not be found or logged until the below requirements are met.
To log this cache, you must first find a total of 24 caches. The first 3 should be fairly easy. They must have the word "Color" in the title. For the remaining 21, you must find 21 unique caches, all with different color names in the cache title. But there are rules to that.
- Each cache must have a different color name.
- Modifiers, such as "redder" or "greenage". and multiple word names, such as "blue green" or "steel gray," will count as different colors.
- No more than 1 cache from the same cache owner.
- Previous finds will count for this challenge.
- At least 7 colors must be in the warm spectrum (reds, oranges, yellows), and 7 in the cool spectrum (greens, blues, purples). Up to 7, but no more, may be neutrals (black, white, browns, grays, and metallics).
- Metallic names may be used only if they represent a distinct color, such as "gold," "silver" or "copper."
- Foreign language caches or cache titles are permitted, but please include an indicator of what language is being used. The color must still be clear in context.
- All cache types are permitted, with the exception of caches you own or have adopted.
Once you have found all the caches needed for this challenge, please post a note with a list of your caches, GC code, date found, and which color (if unclear) and spectrum the cache counts for. You may include this note with your Found log, or post it separately. A public bookmark with the required information will also be accepted. See the sample note at the bottom of the cache description. Please note that the sample note includes many caches that are not local to the DFW area. Location of caches is not a requirement, but I also gave this cache a high difficulty for a reason.
Found logs which have not met all the requirements will be deleted without notice.
