Geocache Description:

Another puzzle for the keen eye! This color chart holds all the numbers you need to make that dash for the cache.

THE COORDS ARE NOT THE LOCATION OF THE CACHE. THE CACHE IS HIDDEN NEARBY. As a professional artist (Hound), I'm surrounded by terms like hue, saturation, luminance and variance (each with it's own number value) every day. I'm constantly spending as much time on math as I do on design, but you don't need a degree in design or even an understanding of PMS (Pantone Color Match System) to get the numbers from this simple chart. It's all in your keen eyesight (my apologies to the colorblind (most of my family)) and deductive skills. So find the numbers, spin that wheel and make your dash to the cache! Postscript: Everything you need to find the coords is here.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.
