Over the past couple of years you've been describing color to me both in person
and in the comments. So I'm going to see how much I've learned.
So let's play a little game and see if I can guess the color.
[music plays]
The rules are pretty simple. People are going to describe colors but they can't
use facts about the color that I might already know.
For example, that grass is green. So they're going to describe how the color
makes them feel and how it makes them think and they'll have
45 seconds in which to do it.
[music stops]
TOMMY: 3... 2... 1... and go.
JOE: Okay, this is
warm... it's also
kind of like pungent...
and sharp.
It's very appropriate for
southern California where we are today.
It's...
It makes me think of bright.
And it makes me think of, you know, sour.
It makes me...
It would be the color that came to mind with
happiness also.
It would be...
It's also the color that you see
in the bathroom sometimes.
TOMMY: Done. Okay, so bright...
sour, happiness. Those are the three I've locked in on.
I'm going to try pink.
[buzzer] JOE: It's yellow. TOMMY: It's yellow!
Sure, yellow is sour, yep. JOE: And that's why I said the bathroom
too because you know, it's like, you know, number one, but...
[Tommy laughs] JOE: We'll leave that out of there.
[musical interlude]
TOMMY: And go. VANESSA: I'm going to eat into my 45 seconds
to say that this is really weird for me because the color is not written
in the color that it is.
Right?! It's a color that's written in a different bright color
so it's really weird to look at. I would say
that this color is a little more
somber. A little bit more
cool... and probably collected.
Like this color has its things together.
It's organized.
Okay, so somber, cool, and collected. It is...
Oh, there's some words I want to use
but I don't know if I'm allowed to use them.
It's a... um...
I... I... I don't
know how you could even get the color from this. TOMMY: Done. That's it!
Oh, boy. I'm going to say blue.
VANESSA: All of the clues fit blue
but it's actually purple. But I was thinking
"gosh, it's regal," and wanted to say that,
but then I thought, "is that outside of the parameters of this?"
TOMMY: Now, regal is fine. Like if you had said "Prince"
for example, that would have been too much.
[musical interlude]
TOMMY: And... go.
NICOLA: It's... ah... I want to say it's organic or earthy
color. Something that
is very...
It's a very common color...
You can find it
in --- I don't want to say specific things.
Um... let's see, okay.
Ah, mellow...
maybe is a good word?
You can find it in people around just like
planet... um...
let's see... [sigh] This is harder
than I thought. TOMMY: Still got a few seconds.
NICOLA: Ah... let's see, okay.
I said organic, earthy...
TOMMY: Done! That's it. We'll stop the clock right there.
I'm going to guess the color you are talking about
is brown. NICOLA: Yes! Amazing!
TOMMY: Eh! Nicely done, sir. NICOLA: I love it.
TOMMY: That's was great. That was really good.
See, I'm and learning about color.. a little. [Nicola laughs]
[musical interlude]
TOMMY: And... go. ANNA: Alright, this color is
light. It's pure. It's...
It's honest.
It... ah... is... um...
It's natural.
It...
makes you feel happy and calm.
And...
it's... ah... it's serene...
it...
if it had a flavor it would be...
maybe sweet. Um...
but mellow. It's...
Oh, gosh. This is tough.
Ah...
it's... TOMMY: Okay, that's it. That's where we stop the clock right there.
I'm going to say the color
you're talking about is... green.
[buzzer] ANNA: It's white.
TOMMY: It's white! I stink at this game but you did fantastic.
[music interlude]
TOMMY: And... go. JACKIE: It makes you feel really warm and happy...
and full of postive
emotion. And...
Often times...
there are things that
have this color. Um, that was really
descriptive. I really zoomed in there.
Um... Emotion...
is the word that comes to mind the most in a positive way
and usually in a really loving way.
Um, I feel...
when I think of the color, I think of heat
as well as love
and I think of
what I hope to have
in a future relationship -- filed with it!
TOMMY: That's it! We'll stop the clock right there. With all that information, Jackie,
I'm going to say the color you are talking about
is... red. JACKIE. Nailed it! Ding, ding, ding!
TOMMY: Come one! That was beautiful.
JACKIE: Which means that I get a gold star, right? TOMMY: Well, no, a red one.

Our friend, Nic, wanted me to challenge him. So over on his
channel I'm going to describe sounds to him and we're going to see if he can
guess what they are. So check it out on SoundlyAwake. The links are in the description.
