In the Chapter 'Tea with Olga', Forrest mentioned different colors of tea: They are: "So we laughed and drank RED tea." "....so we sipped BLACK tea and nibbled on Oreos." "Olga was at peace at last and I suspected she may be having GREEN tea with her father." Are these colors some of the Subtle Clues Forrest says are in The Thrill of the Chase? Mix the 3 colors together and you end up with brown |

The problem with going on individual colors that mix to make brown is that any primary color can be used to make brown.
"To mix a brown you mix a primary with its complementary color, so purple and yellow; blue and orange; or red and green (See video tutorial of making brown color). There is a diverse amount of Brown in nature. This color can be mixed with any other color."

I think Forrest's Brown has about as much to do with mixed paint colors as it does brown trout, bears, beavers and rangers.

Whether or not the various colors are clues, the fact Forrest changes the colors, for whatever the reason, shows he is well aware of the subtle and creative details of words.......and wonders if readers notice them....

...or he's highlighting tea or T or tee, maybe the colors don't matter as much as the tea, which is repetitive. Including the title, tea is mentioned 5 times. When I want to point something out I repeat it over and over.

I only thought I'd mention the mixing of colors because I've seen a number of times in various solves around the web, the use of mixing this color and that color (usually part of a name) to make brown for their HOB.

Hi Jenny: there is no doubt that Forrest writes a lot about colors, and he uses numbers more than average. I assume you've found the other color references in Tea With Olga besides the obvious red, black and green. He pretty much covers the rainbow (where have I seen that word?) ;-)
There is no need to remind that the most prominent landmark in the 4-state search area that Forrest frequently mentions is YELLOWstone. (But Colorado aficionados can certainly counter with their state's first 5 letters). But Forrest certainly mentions yellow-colored things a lot, notably in an erroneous statement (using lemon juice on Bip to get rid of skunk smell rather than tomato juice).
Remember, too, that he once wished someone would ask him a question that he could answer, like what color is a daffodil?

Tea is warm water. It's a hint to WWWH.

Sometimes our family would go out into the country-side north of town to pick wild berries. We usually had to drive off the road and around the trees and underbrush for a few minutes to find a ripe huckleberry bush. Dad knew where they were, and we could usually fill a pail. Berries were great for breakfast with Wheaties. We ate a lot of Wheaties, and mom made really great jam that was good on top of hot biscuits. Yes, I still remember.
The kids competed with each other to see who could gather the most berries. I always lost because I munched too much as I picked.
There were strawberry bushes too, but they were isolated, the fruit was small, and it hung close to the ground. We didn’t mess with those guys.
It was not unusual for black bears to be eating berries on bushes within short walking distance from us. When that happened, mom would start singing. Dad said to leave them alone and if they moved toward us, just give them space. There were plenty of berries to go around. That was in the 1930s, and early 40s. I never heard of anyone being hurt by a black bear up there. Meeting a grizzly was different, but it was not something we worried about. If one ever wandered in to command the berry bushes, we surely would have retreated at a nervous pace. We never had to. Those were fun family times. f
A lot of Wheaties

The "Intaglio Printing" sign in the window in Scrapbook 203 provides a link to the "MC Escher" in Scrapbook 204 .
"MC Escher" can also be found in the text of Scrapbook 203 in a similar manner to that in which it appears in Scrapbook 204. |

We are told to read the book, read the poem, over and over, and then read the book for anything that stands out... the changing of colors certainly do...... is it a hint to Fall.... water fall? (..just throwing in the option)

Those were fun family times. f A lot of Wheaties Id start with warm wATErs The 19th letter of each line in the first stanza give a bold tea, And with the t in Waters and work your way up. That gives two TEAs that form a T. Maybe it’s just a high frequency letter thing coincidence . wATEr high |
