Favorite colors not working as expected

Post by jmayDET »

My favorite colors are listed in order as: orange, blue, black and white. I would expect in games where orange is not available, I would be assigned blue, but I have twice now been assigned yellow. You can see this result in the below linked games. What is the logic behind how colors are assigned?

not all games have favorite color implemented, though I believe these two do. Which leaves us with the likely scenario where we are matching a spectrum of possibilities to a handful of discrete choices and that the colors in the game are likely linked to a couple choices. These 'yellows' might be written in the game as both 'yellow' and 'orange' when checking for the best color match.

They both do. The logs state that colors were chosen due to preferences.
