Description
Problem
Some target colours have boring compound names like "Dark Blue Green", "Middle Red Purple", "Pea Soup Green" (mostly from XKCD survey and Crayola's mid-range). These are less fun to guess and less satisfying to reveal compared to evocative names like "Sasquatch Socks", "Cloud Dancer", or "Burnt Sienna".
Feedback
From initial playtesting — the generic [modifier] [colour] [colour] pattern names feel flat as targets.
Possible approaches
- Filter boring compounds — strip target candidates that match patterns like
Dark/Light/Medium + Color + Color - Curated target pool — keep full 3,385 DB for fuzzy matching, but draw targets from a curated subset of interesting names
- Source weighting — favor Crayola/Pantone/Japanese names as targets, deprioritize XKCD compound names
Option 2 or 3 seems best — preserves the full matching vocabulary while making the game more fun.
Notes
Needs more playtesting data before deciding on approach.
