P.S. The B.H. carved on the tree is not part of this puzzle. Those are my initials for the artwork.

Thanks to everyone who sent in answers. I had a few correct ones. Way to go!
Congratulations to Brute_Forcing who was the first to get in the correct answers of WHITE FANG and JACK LONDON. It's a great book if you haven't read it.
I will post an explanation tomorrow and a new puzzle!

Here is the solution to Puzzle # 7:
There is a quote in the book, βWhite Fangβ, by Jack London, IT TOUCHED THE ENDS OF HIS UPSTANDING HAIR.
I broke up this quote into four parts: IT TOUCHED THE ENDs OF HIS UPSTANDING HAIR I gave you two of these four parts, although the S in THE ENDS is very small, and the color blends in with the background. The other two parts are from the DOTSIES FONT, which can be found on deCode. Those are OF HIS, which is the grey on white rectangle. And the most telling part of the quote, UPSTANDING HAIR, is hidden between the words THE and END, also in Dotsies font. This one is hard to find, so if you have been playing along, you should have learned a lesson about Hidden messages from the Chris McCandless "Call of the Wild" puzzle!
My instructions ask you to name WHO and WHAT. The answer to that would be JACK LONDON and the book, WHITE FANG.
White Fang is a good book, and so is Into The Wild.
Thanks for playing.

This is not Puzzle #8, but this will be the prize for Puzzle #8. There are four conditions to win this awesome prize: You must be a party animal. You must be devious. And you must turn in the correct answer(s) to my puzzle. And after you win, you must report back here to the forum to let us know if this card game is any good or if it is awful. I will try to release this puzzle late for the West Coast puzzlers. I have to be a bit devious and keep the actual time a secret, right?

Good Evening Fellow Puzzlers! Tonight I am releasing Puzzle #8. By now you should know the drill. Today I am looking for TWO WORDS: a COMMON LOCATION and a COMMON COLOR. No explanation necessary. Just send those two words to me, ArtofHiddenMessages. You must have BOTH words correct. I will not tell you if you have one word right and one word wrong. The first person with the correct answer(s) will win the prize of a CARD GAME called WEREWOLF. (It will not be a charm this time.) Submissions are timestamped, so if I don't get back to you right away, don't fear, I can see who was first to send in the correct answer. As always, have fun! Good luck!

Still no correct answers as of 11:21 am EST Monday.
I did have a few submissions.
This isn't a guessing game. The numbers have a hidden meaning and I have every confidence that you can find them.

SOLUTION TO PUZZLE #8
Puzzle #8 shows a map of the world and a color wheel. It reads on the top, 467 COMMON LOCATION, and on the bottom, it reads, 57 COMMON COLOR. The numbers are in reference to the previous puzzles. Puzzle 4 included what3words which led you to the National Gallery of Art in LONDON. Puzzle #6 showed a picture of the Werewolf of LONDON and the solution involved the lyrics to the same song. Puzzle #7 Was a quote by Jack LONDON. Puzzle 5βs answer included the word WHITE in lyrics. Puzzle #7 again was a quote by Jack LONDON from the book WHITE Fang. In the middle of the illustration, it reads, SEND TWO WORDS. Your two words should have been the location of LONDON and the color WHITE.
I had two players send in the correct answer within 13 minutes of one another.
Up next, and soon, Puzzle #9.
