How to play Swatch This

Real-life paint colors aren’t just called “yellow” or “pink” or “blue,” they’re much more evocative and fun. So a yellow-gold might be “Sunny Side Up,” a bright pink “Sweet Sixteen,” or an aqua-blue “Jamaica Bay.”

The goal of Swatch This is to create the best color names, as serious or silly as you want.

The other players in the match are making up names too, so at the end everyone will try to pick out the real name from the made-up ones. Guess the right name and you'll get points — fool another player and you’ll get even more!
