I'll spend some time in the morning picking the colors apart to find the RGB values in assorted formats.
But that's tomorrow's problems, for tomorrow's me.
Thanks alot, past me. You lazy sod. Should have known I couldn't count on me when I was you.
Edit: Just got an email from Riddler Santa
no time, so I will just tell you. top leading square is wrong.
I thought it might be, but couldn't check cause I was in hurry.

So, I haven't been puzzling as hard or as diligently as I should have been (I blame overeating and my ridiculous lack of self control to prevent overeating), and Riddler Santa is grown angry (or impatient) with my lack of progress.
I haven't gotten any word yet this week on any progress.
Hum, a little hint. All right, you are looking for a word. One might guess the word before you know how you should get the word.
What you do with the word should be obvious.
So obvusly, you need to figure out what the alphabet is.
Riddle Santa
I notice that the word "obviously" appears to be missing an I and an O, I doubt that was coincidence.
Since those look a lot like 1 and 0, I'm guessing Binary's coming back to play in this puzzle like it did the last.
Just a guess here, but the algorithm to convert from top color to bottom color is it as simple as switching 1s for 0s and the other way round? 11111111 (FF) becomes 00000000 (00).
It doesn't work perfectly with the values I got, but I had my dropper sample set to 5x5 instead of 1x1 pixels, so some of the erroneous values could have been me being sloppy.
Edit: The word... Is it "Bird"? I have it on good authority that Bird is the word.
Why does it matter that the first square is 255 red, and not what you had? I feel that should be part of the puzzle that it was pointed out that it needs to be perfect red. That makes it so in the top row, all have a 255, and two 000, 000.

The initial clues said that the bottom row was derived from the top row.
1. The top leads the bottom.
2. The bottoms following the top tells you something.
3. With the somethings, find a cipher.
First column, red (which RS said should have been 255,0,0) leads to teal (12,255,255)
Second column, blue (0,0,255) leads to Yellow (255,255,15)
Third column, green (0,255,0) leads to violet (255,21,255)
Fourth column red (255,0,0) + Green (00,255,00) leads to Blue (04,05,255)
Fifth Column Blue (0,0,255)+Green 00,255,00) leads to red (255,9,10)
I had been thinking maybe I was sloppy with the dropper tool when pulling the colors and the results should have been all full numbers instead of off just a bit leading to a pretty straight forward cipher where a series of letters that I hadn't received yet could be converted to binary, flipped and converted back to ascii to reveal the solution.
Now I'm wondering if the differences in the second row are intended to represent letters since they're all between 1 and 26.

Wasn't the last one at a locker?
It was, but to a different one called Tonya. From the earlier email, it should be arriving there sometime between today and 12/6.
Then, Riddler Santa will send the code to open the box and I'll get to reenact the finale to Seven.
It appears that we've gone all "Stranger Things" on the forums, judging from the bike at the bottom of the page. I've only seen two episodes or so, so I'm just guessing.
Santa, I'm not sure when your land-based package was supposed to arrive, so just letting you know I've had no word yet and am not being a deadbest santee. If it's being transported across the Arctic by sled dogs, then no worries.
(Note that if it's going through Customs, my closest Customs crossing has had some major backups, so that'd explain any delays and it'll show up eventually. Hopefully not as a bottle of bleach.)
Want to find me on a gaming service? I'm SwashbucklerXX everywhere.
I got a USPS notification of a packed being shipped to me by tomorrow. Naturally the wife and I won't be here, so if you're my Santa and sent the package, be calm in the knowledge that it is safe in the house (via our house sitter).

But, bowling league is tonight, so it's going to be a bit before I get to the locker.
Looking forward to it.

I'm going to go ahead and take a guess here that @DyasAlure is my Santa. Based largely on how close your posts in regards to the puzzles here and the emails to me were, you always seemed to be online and puzzling when I was getting emails from Riddler Santa. This is also supported by the name on the Amazon shipping label.
Okay, maybe that was a big hint too.
Guess there's no real need to hide this address.
Second guess was going to be @ArcticLancer, for much the same reasoning (and also because it would have been hilarious to me if we had been matched up again). Always seemed to be online and puzzling while I was getting emails.
Also, international customs/shipping would have made going through Amazon an appealing option.

Ha. I definitely hadn't considered you thinking I was your Santa. Indeed, it would have been 100% hilarious for us to be matched up a 4th time. Perhaps I'll start working on those SAW puzzles for when that happens ...
Box #1 has been received, Santa. I haven't opened it yet - I'll wait until the second one arrives - and then I'll pop the wrapped gifts under the tree until the 25th as per what is now apparently tradition.
Unless the second Amazon box I got this morning was from you as well in which case I now have enough Brita filters to last me 3 years once the packs I ordered for myself arrive.
Probably not. Both states say "legal" but what they really mean is that they won't enforce the federal illegality, USPS is a federal thing, and you'd still have your package in or over states in which it is not legal.
@see317 one more package for tomorrow. I don't see a reason to keep hiding it, as you know it is coming and I'm Santa. I will send over the UPS when I get it.
On a side note, how did you like the locker? Never used one, seems that it might be a good thing for this thread.

Locker was pretty cool, just printed the barcode and flashed it at the scanner, little door opens, package is retrieved. It was kind of around the back of the gas station though, so I had to ask the attendant where it was. Pretty well lit, wouldn't be surprised if there was a security camera or two that I didn't see.
I could see using them if I had a door that was on a public street and I was worried about opportunistic bastards stealing packages.
The "three days or it gets returned" is kind of off putting (but understandable, there's a good number of lockers but not a huge number considering the number of neighborhoods in the area).
I mean, stuff happens and it's not inconceivable that a sufficient amount of stuff hitting a large enough fan could cause enough delay that a package is returned before it could be retrieved.
On the plus side, them having nice short names that can be encrypted in any number of interesting ways could make them a delight for future Riddler Santas.

And, Riddler Santa, I've got an idea who you might be (I've narrowed it down to around 80 people...), but I'll hold off on guessing for now.
Santee, I have acquired various items suitable for giftage. Package departure is somewhat immanent, stay tuned.

Okay, bowling is done.
Took a roundabout way home to meet Tonya:
Returned home and put Cthulhu to work. The Tribble's in trouble, it knows what it did.
I just hope that someday the psychological wounds will heal, even if the physical ones never do...
A note inside from Puzzle Santa
And the great elder god has another season of Fringe to add to it's dread cyclopean throne...
I'm going to go ahead and take a guess here that @DyasAlure is my Santa. Based largely on how close your posts in regards to the puzzles here and the emails to me were, you always seemed to be online and puzzling when I was getting emails from Riddler Santa. This is also supported by the name on the Amazon shipping label.
Okay, maybe that was a big hint too.
Guess there's no real need to hide this address.
Second guess was going to be @ArcticLancer, for much the same reasoning (and also because it would have been hilarious to me if we had been matched up again). Always seemed to be online and puzzling while I was getting emails.
Also, international customs/shipping would have made going through Amazon an appealing option.
You are right. I want you to have fun, so that means solving it. You have one package should be there tomorrow.
On phone short post.
Well, now we have to fight to the death.
You just had to go and say something.
Nah, you're a fancy Denver suburbs guy - I'm down in Colorado Springs!

Ha. I definitely hadn't considered you thinking I was your Santa. Indeed, it would have been 100% hilarious for us to be matched up a 4th time. Perhaps I'll start working on those SAW puzzles for when that happens ...
Perhaps I can interest you in my meager selection of pins?
I need to rectify this ASAP.
Unless the second Amazon box I got this morning was from you as well in which case I now have enough Brita filters to last me 3 years once the packs I ordered for myself arrive.
I live in Washington. Is it illegal for me to mail it to CO? It is legal on both ends?
Also it's snowing so YAY HOLIDAYS
On a side note, how did you like the locker? Never used one, seems that it might be a good thing for this thread.
You're killing me, company who I won't name.
It'll be a very plushy Christmas for a certain somebody.
Also: Lego tree!
Locker was pretty cool, just printed the barcode and flashed it at the scanner, little door opens, package is retrieved. It was kind of around the back of the gas station though, so I had to ask the attendant where it was. Pretty well lit, wouldn't be surprised if there was a security camera or two that I didn't see.
I could see using them if I had a door that was on a public street and I was worried about opportunistic bastards stealing packages.
The "three days or it gets returned" is kind of off putting (but understandable, there's a good number of lockers but not a huge number considering the number of neighborhoods in the area).
I mean, stuff happens and it's not inconceivable that a sufficient amount of stuff hitting a large enough fan could cause enough delay that a package is returned before it could be retrieved.
On the plus side, them having nice short names that can be encrypted in any number of interesting ways could make them a delight for future Riddler Santas.
Wait you're waiting to open them?
But...but how?
Are you the chosen one? The possessor of willpower, oft spoken of in legend?
