omg i actually fell in love with this card

i've never felt so happy to solve a card in my life <3

Not sure if this is only on my card or not, but it appears to me that there is a slight difference in color in the grid from the line next to "Fuschia" (in the word bank) up. Do other people see this too (it's easier to notice if you hold the card slightly away from your face)?

Here's a Python script I wrote to solve this guy. I figured it would be easier on my eyes, and a much better way to start learning Python than Hello World.

Basically, the program loads in letters and their braille representations from a file, then loads in the card data from another file. It starts at one of six starting places and goes through the whole grid by row and column looking for braille patterns. The result is a series of six grids of letters from which you can easily find the color names by hand.

Probably not the greatest script ever, but I'm pretty happy with it since it is my first Python program

Main script (since I can't attach it):

I started off by looking for letters.
Looked for C and got most of those, then realised that this process was probably going to take too long.

So I did it by working out the six grids.
It's a lot quicker than you think, especially after the first two girds when you know most of the characters.

Anyway, I'm going to post them here in case there are hidden messages in the other letters:

Grid 1:
xo (I've used this notation to mean that the top
oo left hand corner of the grid is where the
oo x is in the 6 top-left dots of the main grid)
