Color is such a deceptively dangerous rabbit hole. A few months ago I entered a game jam intending to make a small pokemon-like where you collect colors rather than creatures. E.g. instead of fire>grass>water it would be red>green>blue, with randomly generated colors of any shade and about half a dozen 'types'. Trying to figure out the math of that nerd sniped me for a couple weeks, didn't even get started on the rest of the game before the jam ended.
