RED: First shown in Spring 1993, this involved a home-viewer contest. They gave away over $1 million in prizes, and to win, here's what you had to do: You first had to write down all the red letters shown in the puzzle. Then you had to unscramble those letters and form a word. You had to use each letter, and use each one only once. This lasted for 3 weeks.
Then in the following season, this just involved the in-studio contestant, and he or she would win bonus money for guessing the word.
GOLD: To celebrate the upcoming 1993 Oscars in Spring 1994, they'd use this color, in what would be the second multi-colored letter home-viewer contest. Just like its Red counterpart, it involved writing down the Gold letters and unscrambling them. These would form the last names of Oscar winners.
RED/BLUE (in the order shown): To celebrate the 1996 Centennial Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia; this color duo was used in yet the Third and FINAL multi-colored home-viewer. Just like the above two counterparts, it involved writing dwon those letters, and unscrambling them. In this contest, these letters would form sporting events you'd find in the Summer Olympics.

Add to that list the Red White and Blue Sweepstakes c. 1994: The home viewers would see multi-colored letters(red and blue), those letters were to be unscrambled to form the last name of a US president. [/quote]
THAT'S probably what I was thinking of.
Was each letter one color, or was each colored letter two colors blended?
