Escape From The Colorful Temple

When they say "Escape From The Colorful Temple" what they mean is "Escape From The Grey Temple With A Hint Of RGB". Do not expect this game to be a marvelous color wheel of wonderment that will brighten up your drab Thursday - you will be disappointed. Serious point'n'click puzzles demand serious colors that mean business [subbed by subzero].

Trouble getting started:

Give the concrete bench a thorough search...

That will give you a good starting clue. If you then have trouble using that clue:

I found swapping what I originally though was left and right from that clue over did the trick. I got up and down right though.

Graeme, thax for the second hint - I guess quite a lot of folks will need it, because IMHO the hint on the sheet is downright misleading...

All right. With Graeme's second hint it's a five-minute easy stroll.

So, if you find yourself stuck, look at that hint.

Without that - IMHO totally unfair - thing Graeme's hint sets right this would be a good game. But that thing spoiled the whole for me...

@BioLarzen
am confused, are you saying Graeme shouldn't have given a hint?

The hint isn't a problem - the fact that the hint is 'needed' at all is a problem . I don't see the logic of why the directions in the game are swapped over. A guess/brute force/looking at the hint solves the puzzle - and its not time consuming - but it's nice to have a logical reason for something that's meant to be a logical puzzle (imho). Even in hindsight I can't see why the directions need to be swapped. Did I miss something?

Having been just as confused as the above posters, I figured out why it may have been misleading.

Rotate the triangle so that the number is upright and it will point you in the direction. So if you rotate '6' 90° counter-clockwise, you see an arrow pointing left.

Betsy,
no, the exact opposite: I'm saying the hint was essential, IMHO.

I'm not sure what everyone is talking about. Swaping the directions? Lefort is right. if I can get it anyone can. Nice little game and the logic was correct...
