The SendingStone review

Color Spray is a spell that may seem appealing due to its flashy display of colors, but it ultimately falls short in terms of its effectiveness. While it has the potential to incapacitate multiple creatures, its limited duration of only one round and the fact that it only affects creatures with lower hit points makes it less useful in higher-level encounters. Additionally, the randomness of the spell's effects can make it difficult to predict and plan for in combat situations. Overall, while it may be a fun spell to use in certain situations, there are much more reliable spells available to sorcerers and wizards.
