What is Colour Clue?
You are given a colour on a 10×10 grid and one word to describe it. Your team places their guesses; the closer they land, the more you both score.
It turns out "salmon" means something wildly different to everyone, and watching a team discover this about itself is most of the entertainment. Scoring is by distance from the true square, so being nearly right is properly rewarded.

Colour Clue questions
Do players need an account or a download?
No. Only the host needs a Fun Friday account. Everyone else joins from any browser with a 6-character room code and a display name — no app, no install, no IT ticket.
Does it work for colourblind players?
Partly — the grid is a full colour field, so some rounds will be harder. Teams with colourblind players usually get on better with Ballpark or Odd One Out.
