Why is the title Hues and Clues but the game is called Hues and Cues?
Ken deeply irritates me and I can’t fully explain it.
Adam is correct. Tennis balls are yellow with a hint of green at best.
Sounds stupid, but I felt so vindicated when they showed Barney and he was way more pink than any of them thought; I was sure he was magenta!! 😂
It's like a Mandela effect, I thought he was a deep purple. Can't believe he's pink and not purple
@@kimberleymonroe1157 the original Barney suit was actually a dark purple color
@@yugiohkamensentairan Looked it up and there was even a handy side-by-side comparison, indeed there is original dark purple barney and new "purple-magenta" barney
@@metallsnubben oh geez you're right. I'm a bit younger so I had never seen that deep blue-purple Barney until i just looked it up!
@@yugiohkamensentairan The only time I've played Hues and Cues someone also gave the hint Barney and everyone went dark purple and the Cue giver was so mad and looked up Barney. I wish I had known then that there was an older, more purple Barney.
Science time: The reason the colors look different on the cards is they are isolated from surrounding colors and that makes you perceive them differently.
It's also printed on a totally different material, almost certainly using different equipment. It's not just human perception.
@@gheefreak I have the game and when you put the card next to the board the colors look nearly identical. It's mostly human perception.
Some people get VERY uncomfortable when you point out how unreliable human perception is!
Remember that gold/green dress that caused people to literally threaten one another online?
Which is one of the reasons that the game concept does not really work.
The other is that if you would play the game long enough, then you would have reference objects for everything.
@@usulsk it’s not because the game doesn’t allow multiple plays that it « doesn’t work ».
Most board game nerds don’t seem to realize this, but game board cafés and party games are actually a thing.
It should absolutely have been called Hues and Clues.
But if it's going to cause any aggro between Hues and Cues supporters and Hues and Clues fans, may I suggest you could avoid the argument by referring to it as Tints and Hints instead!
shades and charades
complexions and suggestions
This is the joke of the day!
Pigmentation Indication
tints have to do with the brightness of a colour, not its hue
@@Roaxial not always. You can say someone has a red tint or a pink tint on their lips and things can have tints of colors
This game would be so fun with like five or six colorblind people. I can only imagine the chaos.
But they all have a different type of color blindness >:)
@@dircreate46 yes yes yes exactly
just:
A: "oh, I got a grey!"
B: "Wait, I have a brown."
C: "What? I have a yellow!"
D: "Why do I have a black?"
A, B, & C: "Your blind, D."
D: "oh."
Edit: after making this i realized blind people don't know what the color black is, uhh, hope you still enjoy the joke
As a colorblind person, this game would piss me off so much. It’s actually quite rare that being colorblind inconveniences me, so when it actually does, I get super annoyed.
@@caniborrowyourdog3681which parts of the grid look too similar to you? I watched somewhere(Watch It Played I think?) that the color spread was designed to be playable even with monochrome colorblindness
"Green limes are, in fact, underripe. When allowed to fully ripen on the tree, they turn pale yellow. But since we're so accustomed to seeing green limes at the supermarket, light green and yellow-ish limes can seem suspect."
Is that a Weird Explorer quote?
Yep, I knew that, but also knew that a lot of people don't making yellowish still a good guess. From my experience they start super dark green and turn yellowish. Typically only turning yellow after they've gone bad tho
@@maker0824when they ripen in storage, they go bad as they ripen... thus why the quote states "when allowed to fully ripen ON THE TREE".
To anyone wondering Purple was the only dye that they couldn’t make in abundance. So the reason only the modern flags have purple in it is because you’d basically be making a flag out of solid gold because of how expensive it was.
So yes in fact anyone with purple was either the Royal Family or they’re so high up the totem pole they’d might as well be royalty.
Julius Caesar actually makes perfect sense for "purple": consuls, the highest rank in Roman politics, were the only ones allowed to wear purple mantles, and guess what was Julius Caesar's highest rank? Consul.
@@KyrieFortune from what i know about roman history (please correct me if i am wrong) but even consuls weren't allowed to wear Purple, Julius Caesar was granted permission to wear Purple whenever he wanted and was even given a golden seat in the roman senate, both of which would be used to justify Julius Caesars Assassination, as some would interpret that as him wanting to be like a king.
Everyone is somewhat right! Tyrian purple was the rare and difficult to make dye in question, and is said to have been worn by the Roman kings. During the Republic, it was only used in formal wear for the very highest magistrates, priests, Vestal Virgins, and certain citizen children-but always in the form of a few stripes or similar decorative elements. The only ones allowed to wear the FULL purple toga were generals during their triumphal celebrations.
This would be presumably what Caesar was indicating with his purple toga, as he and Augustus both leaned on the “triumphant general” imagery in establishing their power. That’s also where the laurel crown comes from. But it also had that royal connotation-which is why generals were ONLY supposed to wear it in the triumph, ie, as king for a day.
In later years, all-purple togas were adopted by consuls and emperors as all-the-time clothes to indicate their rank, and eventually it was restricted to only the emperor himself. It would remain the “color of royalty” throughout the Middle Ages.
Everyone also loses, though, because Tyrian purple is actually quite red.
the method often used was crushing small deep sea snails. 12,000 were ground up to make just a smidge of rich purple dye or powder.
Heirs born while their parent eas emperor in the eastern roman empire were said to be "born in the purple". I thought it was obvious Ken was going for purple, I never really associate even blue with royalty or red with Caesar, purple is the royal colour IMO
"I've never seen an unripened lime!"
Yes, you have, it's every lime you have ever bought 💀
34:36 when he said Royalty, I instantly thought of Purple, and specifically this little Playmobil figurine of Julius Caesar I had when I was a kid, because I strongly remember being a smug kid going ''this design is clever because purple was an expensive colour and therefore the colour of royalty'' as if that wasn't incredibly common knowledge. Works out that he said Julius Caesar right afterwards.
ironically, purple and Julius Caesar are linked because he was a CONSUL, the higher NON-ROYAL rank in Roman society, and only consuls could wear purple
Back in julius’ times only the royals were allowed to wear purple
As a child my friend would not shut up about saying "Purple is a royal color you know" every once in awhile
I've never felt more connected to Adam than in this moment. Earlier in the episode he says "Is anyone else slightly colorblind or is it just me?"
Then he proceeds, despite KNOWING he's colorblind, to lose his marbles over his interpretation of colors versus others.
I mean, tennis balls ARE YELLOW
@@SickRedAppleEXACTLY!!!!!!
I know, I paused the video and googled tennis balls and screamed THEY ARE YELLOW
@@SickRedApple yea they are yellow with a slight bit of green we just think of them as green because it is at the edge of yellow
So idk if their ruleset is different but when I've played this game, after the 2nd clue players play their pieces on counter clockwise order, which balances it more.
Yeah, the 'bounceback' for second clue is pretty important. But hey, fun is fun.
that would make each turn more balanced but the overall game everyuone got a chance to be in the best position and the worst so itll even out across the whole game
Going counterclockwise after the second clue is what is in the official rule book, they may have just missed it/forgotten about it
Adam, "I also don't like volleyball" should have earned you Joke of the Day.
Came here to say this. Brilliant joke
I don't get the joke?
@@Tanner_LaFond Adam said he can't be a fighter pilot because of his color (colour) blindness. That and that he doesn't like volley ball. He's referencing the movie Top Gun, which is about fighter pilots who play volley ball. Had to re-watch the episode to remember the context, glad I did. it was a good one!
Julius Caesar was said to once wear a cloak at his triumph that was just red enough to pass but boarder on purple.
He did this to troll the consul.
Red was the color of generals and purple the color of the consul, to the point where becoming a consul of Rome was referred to as taking or wearing the purple.
Children born while their father was emperor of Byzantium were also said to be “born in the purple”
Ahh. That's cool. Here is another fun fact:
Purple was considered the color of royalty, because it was so expensive to make. The pigment used was made out of shells and they needed a huge amount of them. Since poor people couldn't spend that much money on clothing, it was considered a status symbol.
yeah uh... wasn't he CONSUL?
Adam is the only one who's brave enough to tell the truth about tennis balls, and for that I hold him in high regard.
they're greener than he said, but they are more yellow than green
We had blue and red. We cut them to use for "Chair protectors" to stick on the ends of our desk chairs so they wouldn't tear up the floor.
He did an excellent guess for tennis balls, but Sully comeback about luminous yellow Wimbledon was too good not to give it to him.
Tennis balls have always been neon green to me
By rule of tennis law-specifically, the International Tennis Federation, or ITF-a tennis ball should be yellow in color. The edict was handed down in 1972, after television viewers had trouble following the movement of white balls. Manufacturers like Gamma Sports also identify their product as yellow-in Gamma’s case, optic yellow. The reason why some think or perceive it to be green is due to either lightening or lack of lightening or lack of something to contrast it with. So in some ways the hues that they see a tennis ball in could change the way it looks.
It's also got to do with the fluorescent colors. humans have three color receptors (red green and blue) which means that seeing yellow already requires two of your color receptors to accurately see the yellow color (yellow triggers red and green). But if your blue receptor works remarkably well, you will notice the fluorescent shine a bit more, that adds a tiny bit of blueish purple to the color that you see. All three color receptors are triggered, but in different amounts, so your brain makes a lot of estimates and calculations, and no brain is the same. some brains will say that the ball is slightly green, while other perceive it as intensely yellow.
The dyes used on the ball are undoubtedly yellow, but thanks to the materials, and the eyes and brains of the tennis player, some people still view it as a bit more greenish than intended, while others see it as very very yellow.
@@osanneart9318 oh that's so cool!!
There’s also the more obvious reason that some fields have cheap tennis balls that are actually green.
Imperial purple is the colour associated with Roman emperors that I think Ken was thinking of. It was made from snails which is why it was so expensive at the time.
It is also called Byzantine- or Byzantium purple.
This was excellent throughout. HUGE shoutout to the editor. Your extra work on this episode had me crying with laughter!
Limes start green then work their way to a yellow as they age. Also if they don't develop brown spots, the lime can start to harden and partially resemble a small lemon.
I have never laughed so hard as when Sully said Tennis! So many possible colors and objects out there, and this man names a sport. We must treasure him.
Point of the game: Guess the Colour
What actually happens: Judgement of Colours
For the barney clue... barney is straight up Magenta, which is an entirely separate (although often confused by people who don't know) color from purple. I'm confused why she didn't say periwinkle/Indigo as those would be closer in clues
I was confused because I somehow remembered Barney as both purple and magenta. So I looked it up, and the very first costume was more of a dark indigo purple, subsequent costumes (18 in total) were always much lighter, but seemed to vary between a more blue purple, a more pinkish purple, or magenta - some of the magenta costumes lasted for quite a few years, which might be why it's what you remember.
Also, until I spent this time looking at the wiki - I had forgotten how much Barney's smile creeps me out!
@@amandabaker4678 that's actually pretty interesting because I never saw the blueish Indigo Purple barney, I literally only remember the Magenta version
Bro board game backseating is so much worse than video game backseating, in video games people will just go "you should've taken this sword instead of that axe, the stats are better", board games be like "bro she CLEARLY should've said periwinkle, absolute skill issue"
@StarkMaximum my issue is more so people confusing magenta and purple. Magenta is a pink, while purple is purple. At the end of the day I enjoyed the video as it was my introduction to the channel and is the reason I'm subscribed. As for the backseat stuff, that was unintentional, rereading my comment that's definitely how it comes off, but that genuinely wasn't my intention
So I am on team Adam for this one, hues definitely does rhyme with clues.
True. The blue hue is a clue.
It isn't the same sound though, the U sound in hue and cue is more of a "ju" while in clue its just a "u"
@@Kath2378 It's in the "ue". Plus, rhymezone lists clue as being similar to hue, so I guess case closed
@@olivez6525 It is similar, yes, but it's not the same, therefore not being a clean rhyme
@@Kath2378 It still rhymes
You guys have inspired me to design my own game, even if I don’t plan on publishing it, and will only make a few copies to play and send to families and friends.
good luck!
@@giorgiafletcher9546 thanks!

Sully's laugh is so contagious.

Has Adam played Diplomacy with Dom yet? Yes: No: ✓
21 weeks remain...
I'm feeling a tinge of pride for nailing the correct square on Adam's "Fullmetal Uniform" clue. 😁
This seems like a fun game, but sadly not one I can play with my gaming group as it includes colour-blind people. Was a lot of fun watching you play it though!
That just adds a fun challenge haha.
When you think royal purple, you're actually thinking of Phoenicians' Tyrian purple. It became a popular color because at first, purple required collecting thousands of snails and an extreme amount of labor per clothing item, which led to it being extremely expensive, which in turn led to it being a symbol of wealth. It was still only producable via this method for the Greeks and Romans, and after that it just stuck around as being considered royal.
Wait, tennis balls ARE yellow, I'm with you Adam! (but I also played this and everyone laughed at my perception of avocado sooo...)
These are truly the highlight of my week! Trying my best to start weekly game nights with my friends, because of y’all its going great so far! 🥰
They inspired us aswell. We have been going strong since march!
This is quite the video for someone with partial color blindness
Tyrian Purple is a reddish purple dye color that was very expensive and often associated with royalty. It is also known as "royal purple". Both of the clues were spot on, because it was a symbol of royalty at different times in history and also was considered the most expensive color to the Romans.
It was expensive both because it was collected from sea snails (so very labor and resource heavy) and also because it would become more vivid after repeated washings.

Will Adam invite them all one for an easy win only to give each their first one? find out.... sometimes on NRB!
@@ryanthacker86 thanks mate!
As already answered Fiasco was an RPG where you just form a narrative and have fun. It isn't a co-op game like betrayal, imperium or nemesis so it doesn't have wins and losses.
It was a lot of fun though you can search it on yt if you like these guys doing bits.

29:54 This explains Brooke"s toilet problems.
She wishes to return to the sea.
It feels dirty agreeing with Adam, but Clues definitely rhymes with Hues. Not as well as Cues does, obviously, but it absolutely does.
You dirty swine! You'll make him believe he's not crazy, you're wasting years of work!
I mean, they have an equal amount of sound at the end that rhymes, it's just that cues seems like a better ryhme because it's shorter
Limes do in fact lighten as they become more ripe.
That tower for rolling dice is freaking great
I feel like there’s something to Brooke’s approach, to me it seems like she took the hue of lavender and the value and saturation of Barney. It’d be interesting to play using clues that way.
This is my first Board Game Club video, I have been dying at these confessionals
As someone who's family are from Coventry seeing Ken put the EXACT opposite colour was hilarious
The moment where they all spontaneously start singing Ken's name to the tune of _The Great Escape_ is really funny for some reason.
Barney holding the tennis ball had me crying 😂 Great episode!
Your channel is an absolute joy, keep doing what you’re doing!!
17:12 the sync between me and Blair was amazing
I'm going to need the full soundbite of the 'Ken' song, obviously. Expecting an NRB musical shortly.
Ken just makes every game he's involved in slightly chaotic
I've seen this game standing in the background of other BGC vids and I've been wondering how it's played!
Great job by Laurie hiding the sneeze during Brooke's 13th Year story.
17:13 Wait, am I actually watching an OutsideXtra video?
I know all of us were likely rooting for Adam's comeuppance at first but I'd like to see him get some victories in the latter stages of 2022.
I was never rooting against Adam, he has had no uppence to come
Luck of the Irish was one of the best movies I’ve seen.
Also Alley Cats is pretty good too
As someone from Coventry, the commentary on Coventry is very accurate.
I always considered tennis balls to be yellow too so I also felt like I was going crazy when everybody assured Adam they were green :o
theyre green-ish yellow, not pure yellow
12:20 limes are sold unripe they turn yellow as they ripen
Good that Adam didn’t mess up the name of the game in the start. Don’t want any miss information to go around here….
When they went jiggly-puff, everyone sang and so did i and i love that.
My name is Ken and im listening to this as im falling asleep but the Ken song at 32:00 woke me up. Also put a smile on my face. Wonderful as always NRB!
Tyrian purple is the color of royalty.
clues can only be one word ? - starts laughing in german :D
Props to the editor of this video for making me laugh very hard. Really well done on this one!
Brooke, no lie, I have been trying to remember the name of that mermaid Disney Channel movie for years. Thank you for your deep knowledge of old school Disney lore.
“Ok, ok TENNIS 🎾” hahaha I love Sullivan
Rome traded a lot in purple dyes which is one of the ways they made a lot of wealth. Also games like Civilization usually associate Rome with purple.
I think they should post an affiliate link if they can for the game being played. I just bought this after watching the play and I know it has encouraged a lot of people to buy a lot of the games played
the reason why you associate purple with royalty is for much of history (including the time of the roman empire) purple dye was very hard to make so it indicated high status and was sometimes (like in the roman empire) banned for the common man.
Im fact, in the Roman Republic/Empire only two people were allowed purple mantles: the consuls.
Julius Caesar was a consul.
For the record, “Born in the Purple” is a common phrase hailing from (I believe) the Byzantine Empire? Which is associated with being born into royalty!!
I'm with Adam tennis balls are like neon yellow with a tint of green
Yellow vs green tennis balls was a big debate for a while at my secondary school, I can empathise with Adam.
Can’t wait for the inperson BOTC episodes.
This game has been sitting on the shelf for a while, this inspired me to break it out
A tennis ball looks yellow-green, and very, if it's gotten wet a lot
In official matches I assume they are very yellow
As someone who grew up in Latin-America I just want to say I was very confused at the beginning with the lemon and lime because we usually refer to them the opposite way (lemon being green and limes yellow) lol
Looking forward to watching this after my board game night tonight with my mates 👍
The og Barney suit was close to that color
I don’t think the answer can ever be on the outermost border because the right answer has to be in the middle of a 3x3 square. You can eliminate a lot of colours that way.
Why not? Some of the box would just hang off the board. Surely they wouldn’t overlook something that obvious lol
Fun fact: Unripe lemons are not limes, they 2 completely different fruits. Lemons start off green before changing to yellow while limes turn yellow when they become overripe
I was playing this with my friends and someone said FNAF when they couldn't think of a colour and about half us launched at the board to get to purple first
As far as purple and Caesar or even Rome. There is a board game called Donning the Purple. Which is about Rome.
Damn for the Lavender + Barney one she could have said ‘Discord’
My favourite time of the week,keep up the good work guys👍🏻
This was so fun to watch. I love this game (it was actually one of the first modern board games I bought!).
limes are actually underripe when we eat them. Limes start of the green we know and eat, and end up a diffrent colour later on
Hue absolutely does rhyme with clue, I don't know what the others besides Adam were on
Yeah, there we go! The second clue does not overwrite the first clue, so look in-between the two. I do not remember her name, but I like the lady who tried to do that. With the crown.
That being said she was still horrendously off with the Barney clue, but the method was solid!
25:32 an underrated moment
"You got this little tiger"
Yeah, Blair! Glad that Pokémon knowledge came in handy.
I don't know if it's intentional or not but Adam mentioned it should be called Hues and Clues and that's the title of the video even though it isn't the right name. Hm
I approve all these Pokémon references and knowledge, especially Laurie's
I love sullivan so much - him shouting "TENNIS!!" in a panic resonates
I completely agree. Tennis balls are MORE YELLOW THAN THEY ARE GREEN. They picked, like, unripe lime green.
Yeah that was definitely Barney if he suffocating from lack of Oxygen
Definition of "rhyme" according to google:
"have or end with a sound that corresponds to another."
hUES
clUES
Always fun watching the gang gaslight Adam 😂
It isn't the same sound though, the U sound in hue and cue is more of a "ju" while in clue its just a "u"
Ending in the same letters is different to rhyming. Clues is more like "Cloos", it doesn't rhyme with Hues
@@damp8277 Depends on your accent though. Generally, and stated by Rhymezone, they are comparable
hues and cues have the same sound, clues does not
time to relearn english phonology
@@KyrieFortune they both have an "oo" sound. "cloo" and "hyoo" both end with the same "oo" sound.
Suggestion: You guys should play WWE Legends Royal Rumble. Obviously Adam will be on board, but otherwise its a fun game!
I bought this game yesterday, largely because I saw there was an ep of it on NRB. And the way my family played pretty much is carbon copy of this video XD Mom ended up winning by a large margin because she gave terrible clues but was great at guessing. The clue/cue giver kinda gets the shaft on points during their turn which means there's no incentive to give good clues. Imo it should be played in the opposite where the clue giver gets points based on how close people get to the actual hue, and guessers score one point based on if they're in the frame.
OK SO... it's true. the CARDS vs the BOARD... it just hits different 😂 I recently played on my birthday and sometimes we were WAY off.
i agree with Adam about the tennis ball color. but then again, i'm also a bit colorblind.
The Barney rant: * *cheff's kiss* *
I'm sitting here in the US watching a table mostly full of Brits and I'm the one who heard the "Barney" clue and immediately thought of cockney rhythming slang from Ocean's 11. :D
the purple royalty clue does make sense (and was my thought as well) because the way they used to make purple dye cost a gazillion dollars so only the most rich (i.e royals) would wear purple
Purple is royal due the price to make it and that's why its not found in many flags
