When will voting come to an end?
Mar 2, 2012. 8:41 PMsriya_dsign says:
Iam unable to capture the exact violet color i used, in my cam. It looks blackish. Any suggestions?
Jul 2, 2011. 2:27 PMChirpoff says:
Would something blue right now qualify for a prize despite the featured color, or does it have to be ultraviolet at this point?
Jul 2, 2011. 10:30 PMmary candy says:
take a look to the of zazenergy's comment ;)
Jul 3, 2011. 12:47 AMChirpoff says:
Oookay, just making sure. Thanks!
Jul 1, 2011. 8:36 PMChirpoff says:
I have a question, if I enter, say, something blue right now, will I be eligible for a prize, or only if it is ultraviolet do I have a chance at this point?
Jun 30, 2011. 9:17 AMapdog4 says:
sooooo maaaany ennnntries
Jun 28, 2011. 7:21 PMmary candy says:
a ultra-violet project please!
I want to see one.. because I think I'm confused..
Jun 28, 2011. 5:35 PMcloudifornia says:
I wonder why there are so many ibles that don't fit the color requirements? Not being mean. I just wonder what they are thinking.
Jun 27, 2011. 9:34 PMannahowardshaw says:
Thought I'd point out this Instructable for this week...
http://www.instructables.com/id/UV-Fun/
Jun 20, 2011. 2:28 AMlove4pds says:
I appreciate the conversation on which way to choose to post the ibles because I am iffy about that still too being a newbie.

In this contest, the items photographed need to be made by us or the photograph needs to be photographed by us, does it count if we, for instance, grew an item? If it is an item we make that is the "only" thing that qualifies then do they need to have ibles with the entry to qualify also or just one photo of the finished product and is it ok for it not be posted anywhere on the site as an ible? Do the photos and /or projects need to be made within the week of the posted color?
Sorry for the dumb questions, but want to make sure I understand it better. I am new and have lots of things I have made and then I have photographs of cool things I didn't make, but I did take the photos and want to see if those are counted since I did take the photos, so they are not stock photos right? And is it OK to edit them a bit?
Jun 27, 2011. 11:07 AMzazenergy says:
You need to make the item and take a picture of it as well as explain how you made it. Think creatively about your entries and what would really wow other visitors that are ultimately going to vote on your Instructable.


Jun 27, 2011. 10:21 AMzeyanimisbah says:
i cant enter my instructable :/ helpppppppppp
Jun 22, 2011. 1:42 AMahmad2117 says:
if you look at the banner at the top there are only 6 colours!!!
Jun 24, 2011. 9:12 AMSteampunkManiac says:
no, there are 7, ultralight is just normally invisible to the naked eye.


May 16, 2011. 10:46 AMiminthebathroom says:
Was flicking through instructables this morning and "jeff-o"s rainbow tile bathroom instructable is like having a wild card for this contest. Any week he can't come up with a color related project he can just snap a couple pics of his bathroom! :)
May 16, 2011. 11:31 AMjanw says:
looks asif he has a use for 7 camera's
May 16, 2011. 1:38 PMjeff-o says:
What I really need is a wide angle lens and a flash for my camera. That bathroom is too small to photograph as you'd see it with your own eyes! I had a real tough time getting the angle and colours right.
May 17, 2011. 12:15 PMjamiec53 says:
Do a panorama of it?
May 17, 2011. 12:46 PMjeff-o says:
Maybe that could work. Can anyone recommend some good (free) stitching software? Mac or PC, I've got both.
Jun 20, 2011. 2:12 AMlove4pds says:
Does Gimp have one?
Jun 20, 2011. 4:24 AMjeff-o says:
Not out of the box, but maybe there's a plugin or something. I've never checked.
May 17, 2011. 1:11 PMCreativeman says:
Windows 7 has a good stitch...but I find it better to use camera settings when doing panoramas, stitches, etc.
May 16, 2011. 11:18 AMjeff-o says:
Hmmm, think they'd go for that? "Oh great, How To Paint Tiles Yellow. Didn't see that one coming!" LOL.

Jul 1, 2011. 8:56 PMChirpoff says:
LOL! Yeah, it is hard to pick which color is predominant in a multicolored project!
May 16, 2011. 12:47 PMangelabchua says:
omg, i am so digging that rainbow tiled bathroom.
May 24, 2011. 11:40 PMVyger says:
So how come infrared didn't make it? That's my favorite color that I can't see.
May 27, 2011. 10:51 AMbrazilero2008 says:
Sounds like you're seeing red because infrared didn't make the grade! :>D
Jun 20, 2011. 2:07 AMlove4pds says:
LOL!
Jun 17, 2011. 11:54 PMThe Amazing Noodle says:
What about items that include the full rainbow? Would they count somewhere?
Jun 16, 2011. 6:58 PMaprzy15 says:
Jun 16, 2011. 7:14 AMspon-tan-ii-us says:
Can I enter more than one project each week? (Like maybe 3 red, 3 blue, etc.)
May 22, 2011. 3:33 PMAngryRedhead says:
How are we supposed to photograph ultraviolet?  I DON'T HAVE THE EQUIPMENT!  WAAAAAAH!
Jun 1, 2011. 1:19 PMzazenergy says:
I'm sure you know about black lights...
Jun 1, 2011. 3:35 PMAngryRedhead says:
Of course, but is it constructing black lights or using sunlight or the effects of ultraviolet light such as a sunburn or fluorescence or...?  It's easy to understand the rest, but ultraviolet kinda sticks out as a "I'm not sure what you mean" situation.  I thought it might even be the super, magical, all the colors of the rainbow sort of deal.
Jun 3, 2011. 12:10 PMzazenergy says:
To clarify, you can build your own ultraviolet light and show us what it does or you can use an ultraviolet light to illuminate something and take an awesome picture of an item you made. Sky's the limit!
Jun 15, 2011. 6:34 AMAlysiaMakes says:
I have something I'd like to submit to this that's blacklight reactive... That's ok? I can just photograph it illuminated and that will qualify it for UV week?

Sorry if I'm forcing you to be redundant...
Jun 13, 2011. 12:22 PMTeensy Doodles says:
Oh no! you can't enter in a step by step instructable?
Jun 13, 2011. 12:16 PMTeensy Doodles says:
Do we vote for the winners, or do the Instructables staff vote?
Jun 9, 2011. 11:52 AMacosicris says:
Just finished my green ible, publish it later. Accidental entry to this contest since I was planning to join the LED contest instead. Good luck to all! :)

May 29, 2011. 11:24 PMTwinmum says:
So can we jump ahead and enter something for an upcoming colour (not that I have anything ready) or not? Someone said we could enter previous colours but not those that are yet to come, yet there is one entry that does not have any red or orange in it and so i thought it may have been entered for an upcoming colour.
Jun 1, 2011. 1:15 PMzazenergy says:
If you enter colors for future weeks they won't be accepted until that week rolls around.
May 30, 2011. 11:26 PMviolentorchid says:
Um, shouldn't the page say "Week 3: Yellow themed photo instructables?"
May 27, 2011. 8:52 AMElusiveGreen says:
Is there any way I could get a hold of whoever is moderating the entries? When I submitted an instructable I wasn't able to check a box for this contest, it just wasn't listed. Maybe the list was too long, or I'm not able to submit the same instructable to multiple contests, not sure. Would just like to see what I can do though.
May 26, 2011. 9:11 AMbajablue says:
Too bad White isn't a color. This is what I woke up to this morning.
May 25, 2011. 3:25 PMMr.Sanchez says:
sO.... oUR FRIEND iNSTRUCTABLES ROBOT IS oRANGE OR yELLOW....?
May 24, 2011. 11:32 PMsdbigguy says:
I was wondering if anyone else entered the contest and had it removed. I drew an image on a drawing tablet, used a computer program and colored in using various layers and used the final image as my instruct able. Sounds like it fits the guidelines but I guess I am wrong?
May 24, 2011. 6:19 PMcairparavel says:
I don't understand mine has been waiting approval for like 3 days now!
May 24, 2011. 6:16 PMsimplebotics says:
i meant week 3 yellow, ;P
May 24, 2011. 3:51 PMneetz says:
i hope mine will win. didn't win the( i made it).
May 23, 2011. 10:51 AMCreativity says:
So is the color orange now??
May 23, 2011. 10:49 AMCreativity says:
How do you make a "Picture Instructable?" I don't get it.
May 23, 2011. 4:50 AMsimplebotics says:
i have the best idea for week 2 yellow, already built just have to make the instructable next week, and next week= summer vacation!!!
May 17, 2011. 8:25 PMusername252 says:
Technically, does white apply to the spectrum? White reflects all the colors at once, so its color is valid for each week right?
May 18, 2011. 3:21 PMzazenergy says:
The predominant color should be following the week's above.
May 22, 2011. 9:01 PMusername252 says:
So, white's not valid then? Probably not then.
May 21, 2011. 2:32 PMHello Kitty says:
Is Week 7 Ultraviolet or Ultra Violet? (One word or two?)
May 22, 2011. 8:58 PMusername252 says:
Its ultraviolet, or UV for short. That color seems hard to create though.
May 22, 2011. 4:55 PMMr.Sanchez says:
RED: Ready...!!!!!
ORANGE: Ready...!!!
YELLOW: Ready....!!!
GREEN: Ready...!!!!
BLUE: Ready....!!!
PURPLE : Ready....!!!!

May 22, 2011. 4:28 PMBlueberryCrazy says:
Hi,

May 20, 2011. 8:41 PMbajablue says:
OH... that IS "Awesome" !!!
May 22, 2011. 7:03 AMagis68 says:
Wow greate idea....lets live in color!
May 21, 2011. 11:15 AMharrafamily says:
can you enter the color instructables before the color comes up as the theme of the week, say, green before it is week 4?
May 20, 2011. 12:12 PMmary candy says:
