By the end, there are various shades from different color families on the same pages ("And the dew-dappled colors of sweet, ripe fruits"), and eventually the narrator admits defeat: "I can only have one favorite color? Hmm...Impossible!" Equally impossible, for many viewers, will be picking a "favorite" in this eye-catching and mind-expanding color concept book.
