Bev at My Reader's Block hosts this fun challenge, which you can read all about and sign up for here. Over the years I have really enjoyed finding books to fit this challenge, with brown being the most challenging overall. I'll update this post with links as I fill in the categories.
Read nine books in the following categories:
1. A book with "Blue" or any shade of Blue (Turquoise, Aquamarine, Navy, etc.) in the title/on the cover. Searching for Sylvie Lee has a blue cover
2. A book with "Red" or any shade of Red (Scarlet, Crimson, Burgandy, etc.) in the title/on the cover. The Moving Pictures has a predominately red cover

3. A book with "Yellow" or any shade of Yellow (Gold, Lemon, Maize, etc.) in the title/on the cover. The Poison Squad has a yellow cover
4. A book with "Green" or any shade of Green (Emerald, Lime, Jade, etc.) in the title/on the cover. The cover of The Woman before Wallis shows a green dress
5. A book with "Brown" or any shade of Brown (Tan, Beige, Sand, etc.) in the title/on the cover. I'm using The Henna Artist for this one, since Henna is usually a brownish color
6. A book with "Black" or any shade of Black (Jet, Ebony, Charcoal, etc.) in the title/on the cover. The Only Good Indians has a mostly black cover
7. A book with "White" or any shade of White (Ivory, Eggshell, Cream, etc.) in the title/on the cover. The Hate U Give has a mostly white cover
8. A book with any other color in the title/on the cover (Purple, Orange, Silver, Magenta, Pink, etc.).
9. A book with a word that implies color in the title/on the cover (Rainbow, Polka-dot, Plaid, Shadow, Paint, Ink, etc.). Me - Elton John has a rainbow effect on part of an otherwise black and white cover
This would be fun, but I'm already doing two challenges (in a year I vowed I wouldn't do any). But I still had fun searching my TBR for titles. You are right, brown was the toughest, but I did have two, with similar titles: Brown Girl, Brownstones and Brown Girl Dreaming
