Chroma County is a happy, busy, and colorful place full of happy, busy, and colorful people. Or at least it was... until unlucky local leprechaun Devlin O'Doherty's pot of gold was stolen, and the rainbow along with it! Now it's a sad, gloomy, and grey place with sad, gloomy, and grey people. What's a leprechaun to do? Put together a ragtag team of adventurous locals and restore the town to its former glory one color at a time... that's what!
