No support, too ambiguous.

Semi-support. People have different definitions of “almost”.

I still can't support. “Almost” is too ambiguous. Is it when it is “almost” touching the sprite? Or is it when the color is “almost” the same? The ambiguity just too great for this block to be in an entry level programming website. Besides, you have to be specific in programming.

Workaround:

change size by (10)
if <touching color [#309917] ?> then

end
change size by (-10)

Anyway, the question about almost is “by how much?”

The sprite will be a bit larger in the body of the IF THEN block, so it should be

change size by (10)
set [almost touching color? v] to <touching color [#309917] ?>
change size by (-10)
if <(almost touching color?) = [true]> then
  ...
end

Nobody got my sarcasm D:
I mean, I made it really subtle, but I did have an extra message for people who quoted what I was saying.

But still, I really think for the sake of ambiguity that this:

<almost touching color [#758606] ?::sensing>

Should be replaced with this:

<within () pixels of color [#395f4a]::sensing>
