allbingo | Color Fest - May 1st to 31st

What's your favorite color? Whether blue, green, or pink, here are a ton of phrases with colors to inspire you. The Color Fest will run from May 1st to 31st, but like all AllBingo events, the end of the event doesn't mean the end of the fun. You can keep creating as long as you want.

These are inspired by some of the prompt lists on

rainbowlists. RainbowLists and RainbowFic are communities for original work (art, fic, etc) using prompt lists named after colors (for a very loose definition of "color" and "name").

Remember, you have lots of choices for how you use your bingo card: besides fiction, you can use prompts as inspiration for non-fiction, art, icons, videos, blog posts, crafts, meta, or anything else you can think of.

I'll make banners for anybody that gets a bingo or more! (you may have to remind me). Please add a comment on this post once you've earned a banner.

If you want to make a card of your own, here's the Bingo card generator and there's an AllBingo AO3 collection.

The

rainbowlists lists included are ones with color phrases (they all have cats in their completion banners).

They were supplemented with as many color related phrases as I could find.

I still have several bringo cards I'm a couple of years overdue on, but how could I resist this one? Have generated myself this card from the list:

paint the town red	blue chip	shades of grey	black tie	what on god's green earth
show the white feather	the boys in blue	sail under false colors	under the rainbow	horse of a different color
horse of a different color	in the pink	WILD CARD	color blind	like white on rice
wave the white flag	red white and blue	blood red	red letter day	gold rush
red light	between the devil and deep blue sea	purple squirrel	pass with flying colors	green-eyed monster

Btw, I didn't even notice this, but it's on my card twice and someone else spotted it instantly - you have "horse of a different color" in the list twice. I think I'll keep the card because I like it, despite the duplicate square, but you'll maybe want to edit your c+p list there & delete one of them.

(I did notice that there was "whitewash" and "whitewashed" so you might want to remove one of those too while you're at it.)

ETA: I decided that actually it might annoy me after all, so I have a new card which is pretty much as nice!

yellow streak	follow the yellow brick road	white wedding	black velvet	blue blood
greyhound	canary yellow	at the end of the rainbow	true colors	red light
silver fox	purple squirrel	WILD CARD	red cross	whitewash
blackout	big yellow taxi	black eye	red in the face	golden boy
nothing rhymes with orange	black as coal	pot calling the kettle black	red flag	in glorious Technicolor

I'm away part of the month, so am going for my usual 2x2 card:

rose coloured glasses	yellowed paper
colour blind	purple prose

This looks really fun, thank you!

I feel like some of these are going to be a challenge to work into my Rainbowfic story, but I suppose that's the fun of it XD

brownstone	black and blue	purple rain	silver fox	pink collar
out of the blue	blue screen of death	yellowed paper	little brown jug	in the pink
horse of a different color	blue balls	RAINBOW	white as a ghost	blue in the face
don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes	the grass is always greener	show the white feather	black box	blue heaven
red wine	red light district	black coffee	local color	bluing
