[quote="volvox"]Here's a Python script I wrote to solve this guy.  I figured it would be easier on my eyes, and a much better way to start learning Python than Hello World.

Basically, the program loads in letters and their braille representations from a file, then loads in the card data from another file.  It starts at one of six starting places and goes through the whole grid by row and column looking for braille patterns.  The result is a series of six grids of letters from which you can easily find the color names by hand.

Probably not the greatest script ever, but I'm pretty happy with it since it is my first Python program  :D

Main script (since I can't attach it):
[code]import sys

#-----------------------------------------------------------

def printData (pData):
    # Pretty printing functions

for rowIndex in range(0, len(pData)):
        for colIndex in range(0, len(pData[0])):
            sys.stdout.write(pData[rowIndex][colIndex])                
        print

return 0

def GenerateLetters(pStartX, pStartY):
    # Generate a letter grid from a particular start location
    
    aOutput = [ ]
    for rowIndex in range(pStartX, len(aData), 3):

if (rowIndex+1 < len(aData)-1 and rowIndex+2 < len(aData)):
            aOutputRow = [ ]
            
            for colIndex in range (pStartY, len(aData[0]), 2):

if (colIndex+1 < len(aData[0])):
                    strKey = ""
                    strKey += aData[rowIndex][colIndex]
                    strKey += aData[rowIndex][colIndex+1]
                    strKey += aData[rowIndex+1][colIndex]
                    strKey += aData[rowIndex+1][colIndex+1]
                    strKey += aData[rowIndex+2][colIndex]
                    strKey += aData[rowIndex+2][colIndex+1]

try:
                        aOutputRow.append("%s" % (dictBraille[strKey]))
                    except KeyError:
                        aOutputRow.append(".")
                
            aOutput.append(aOutputRow)

print "Start location (%s,%s):" % (pStartX,pStartY)
    print
    printData(aOutput)
    print "-"*30
    print
    
    return 0
