This reminds me heavily of the novel Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde. That book (which has nothing to do with a certain other novel with a similar name) depicts a society of humans (not crayons) who each have limited color vision, and which colors you can see is passed on from your parents. There is strong taboo there about complementary colors interbreeding, and given the nature of the government, it would be unsurprising if the children of such miscegenation were...disappeared.

Sometimes also referred to as "Frowny Girl removing Beardy's head"

I had a facebook friend pick up Shades of Grey instead of 50 Shades of Grey.

Needless to say she was very confused by all the hype. It's a last resort thing, but if you can't find anything else try offering to buy it for her and just leaving off the "50."

Wrong book. I'm talking about Shades of Grey: A Novel https://www.amazon.com/dp/0143118587/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_1ABHDbYBTY993
Not Fifty Shades of Grey.

Have you read Jasper Fforde? If you like Douglas Adams, you'll love him. He's got a few series, including the Thursday Next series that starts with The Eyre Affair. Or if you want something slightly less lighthearted, there's Shades of Grey.

For some reason, I'm a total Jasper Fforde evangelical lately, but he's fantastic.

I love dystpians. When you finish that one up, try Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde

If you're in the mood of pranking/educate her, pick the better version: Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde.

Ah, that explains the "thing that happened". Guess we don't need Painting by Numbers after all!
