$ale of the Century Question

[JonSea31]

Does anybody know the background colors for the cash squares (not $10/$15/$25 money cards) in the Fame Game during the Syndicated run and later in the NBC run?

I can narrow down the list.  In the syndicated run:

$500 was dark red.
$600 appeared to be indigo or dark blue.

In the later NBC episodes:

$400 had a pastel yellow background with the dollar amount in red characters.
I am almost certain $900 had a neon green background - correct me if I'm mistaken.

If I can find out the background colors for the other amounts, that would be great.

I do know that there was a number of cash amounts revealed during the Fall 1986 Home Viewer Sweepstakes, as they were once on YouTube (the latter two episodes of Al MacDonald's 10-episode run), but the user took them down on his own terms - possibly due to a copyright claim by GSN/WorldWinner.

More vaporware, Jonsy?

Although I had "Who the fark cares?" on my card, I'll accept your answer as quite valid.

If we've learned anything about the Internet, I would say the question has lost its meaning.

Because somewhere, somehow, someway, there is someone who.will care.

(could say similar things about society in general, the way some people don't understand how things work)

My apologies, I accidentally posted in the Video/Audio thread, and moderators, please move this thread to The Big Board.

$1000 was Blue Lettering/ Gold Background (we've gotten that far, I think).

I did view the second last episode of Al McDonald's run from September 1986 that I downloaded a while ago, and I did discover the background colors of two Fame Game cash prizes.  $700 was a dark pink, and $100 was a bluish color.

These Fame Game cash amounts looked to have switched to a neon/pastel color scheme by that point, and it seems as if, by the mid-80s, some game show props were being changed to a neon and/or pastel color scheme (Press Your Luck went neon in August 1985, and NBC Wheel of Fortune changed the wedges to a neon and pastel color scheme sometime around the summer of 1986).

What? Neons and pastels became popular in the 1980s? I don't buy it for a second.
