Around the Year in 52 Books discussion

But you know the saying... April Showers. And April showers come with rainbows! So this quarter, you're doing a cover color challenge for all of the colors of the rainbow.

How you choose to define it is up to you. You can challenge yourself and use books that fit the color with the majority of the cover, or you can count any book that has that color on it, no matter how big or how small.Or, for instance, the title has one of the words in it, or something about the word/color is important to the story.

SPRING RAINBOW
Defined as either where the cover is at least 50% the colour stated (or >5% for multiple colours), according to TinEye (https://labs.tineye.com/color/) which is the site another challenge I do uses to verify colours on covers; or something relevent to the colour on the cover.
