Hi - it's been a whole week, so I've had time to write a Colour Challenge Tester program.
It has been very interesting seeing how wrong I am about channel values - here is my last attempt, showing that I'm getting quite good at Hue, but not so at the rest of them.
Download the zip file if you would like to try your hand
All the best

LOL - I love it! What a lot of fun. Of course I'm dying to use this in the next class, with your permission.

Sure Mike - but try it out first & let us know how consistently low you can get the +/- values!

I did three examples and got all of them right except two in each case.

Well Greg here is the .dll (should be on most machines)
It needs to go into c:WindowsSystem32 (or c:Winntsystem32)
then it needs to be registered - by entering
regsvr32 c:windowssystem32MSSTDFMT.DLL in the Start>RUN command
and a little dialog should pop up to say all is okay
Hope that explains it enough
Out of interest what operating system are you running?

So Mike you said "I did three examples and got all of them right except two in each case" - so you should be able to reduce the "within +/-" values to make it harder and harder.
I think I've discovered that I'm a little Magenta/Red colour blind as I find that Hue area extremely difficult to do. I am also suprised how bad I am at the Lab ab channels - thought I knew those. Hue seems to be the easiest - must be because I kept looking at CM's clock!
'Tis fun though and I've set it to run all day, giving me a couple of goes per hour, so I'm slowly learning and improving.

Vista Home Premium.
I do not have any Dev tools on this PC this might be one that comes with your programming language.
