Welcome Carly and Celia!

Would you count the phrase "midnight waves?" I'm not sure if it's talking about color or waves at midnight. The full sentence is "Midnight waves surround us."

Yes.

If a color qualifies for two things (such as "midnight blue" in blue and "midnight" in black, or "jade" in green and "jade" in black), can I use the same book/sentence for both categories?

Would you count "pale eggy centers" for eggshell white? The sentence is about flowers, so it's definitely describing color

Celia wrote: "Would you count "pale eggy centers" for eggshell white? The sentence is about flowers, so it's definitely describing color"

I don't think so... sorry.

Would you count "the damp pewter days..."? It's in a highly metaphorical book of poetry so I have no idea what it actually means.

Yes, it's describing how the skies appear on a rainy day...

You would have to start from today because you need sentences.

Would you count "as dark as a humongous piece of charcoal?"

Also "knife with a jade handle"?

Celia wrote: "Would you count "as dark as a humongous piece of charcoal?"

Also "knife with a jade handle"?"

dark is the descriptor - so no...

jade handle - what color jade though? It comes in many colors.

would you count the phrase, "dark, foggy canyon" for fog?

Celia wrote: "would you count the phrase, "dark, foggy canyon" for fog?"

no, because foggy is not used as a color.

Welcome satine!

would you count "mysterious green forests, a rolling dark sea from above" for sea green? I know it's a stretch

Am I allowed to get all the badges for this? Like, if I were to get the up to 75 badge now and then post for the 75 - 125 badge later, etc?
