  1. Missing Color Arrangements were entered automatically.

The following rules apply for automatic allocation.

The search row of the CA contains only the colors of the pattern and no other CA fulfils this criterion as well.

The search row of the CA contains the colors of the pattern besides further colors and no other CA fulfills this criterion as well and no other CA fulfills the more first criterion.

If no Color Arrangements can be allocated unambiguously, the affected rows are displayed in a list. Reasons for this are CAs that are not appropriate or several CAs that fulfill the same criteria.
