About the Red-crowned Crane's color

Symbol of a thousand years of life in Japanese folklore. The red crown is bare skin, not feathers. In ToonTone Guess, we represent the red-crowned crane with the hex value #E63946 — the color most people see when they picture the animal in its natural habitat.

Some animals wear two tones — the red-crowned crane pairs #E63946 with #FAFAFA for contrast. ToonTone Guess asks for the dominant tone; the secondary appears on the reveal card.
