01 FIELD INSTRUCTIONS
WHAT TO LOOK FOR.
Choose a color such as burnt orange, dusty lavender or mint green. Observe casually for a short period and recall a few unrelated objects that matched it.
DIRECTIVE M-008 / CHROMATIC SURVEILLANCE
Look for a color that keeps following you.
Pick an unusual shade, then count how often it appears on ordinary objects today.

CLASSIFIED-ISH OPERATIONAL BRIEFING / M-008
YOUR ORDINARY WORLD.
AN EXTRAORDINARY EXCUSE TO NOTICE.
Pick an unusual color and it may suddenly appear everywhere. It can feel as though a particular shade has joined your daily schedule, even when the objects have nothing to do with one another.
02 SAMPLE CASE
AN EXAMPLE REPORT.
Example report: “A peach-colored notebook, a soap dispenser and a billboard all conspired to match my breakfast.”
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE · NOT A COMMUNITY SUBMISSION03 THE NOT-SO-SECRET EXPLANATION
WHY THIS IS FUN.
Attention changes what feels noticeable. The Department's imaginary Chromatic Surveillance Unit treats the result as an aesthetic puzzle, not a prediction.
04 SAFETY DIRECTIVE
KEEP IT HARMLESS.
Don't use the mission as an excuse to photograph or track people wearing that color. Focus on objects and general impressions.
