Yeah, I got that, with hex and all, but when I use digital color meter I get a different reading on each of my monitors, thus the question.

Use an eyedropper in GIMP, PS, etc. to get the digital value (don't read off monitor)

Funny Acorn didn't work but PS did. Go figure.

Sounds like you're in the lead. Go go rkudeshi!

I wish...someone tweeted about an hour ago that they finished the entire thing! Now I'm stuck on 21 and I swear it involves the Dropbox Wiki, but I can't find anything...

Hint: you can sync up and collaborate with Dropbox :)

hex code of pic, share the folder

I created a folder named the hex code of the color, shared it with the email address hidden in the picture, and nothing happened. Maybe their servers are overloaded?

Don't include the # in the beginning.

Definitely didn't include the #. Simply created a folder named 1F75CC, shared it with dropquest@dropbox.com and...nothing. Can't imagine what I'm still doing wrong, so I'm chalking it up to a bug on their end now.
