Color Me Perfect is a 1996 TV movie written by Don Mueller and Michele Lee and directed by Lee.Dina Blake (Lee) is a mentally disabled woman who lives with her nephew Andy (Stan Cahill) and works at his coffee stand in a park. When two married scientists, Mitch Conlon (Robin Thomas) and Linda Ryan (Susan Blakely) offer to make her the test subject for an experimental gene therapy, she agrees, and moves in with them so they can monitor her and control her environment. The formula slowly increases her IQ from the 50s to 172, and Dina struggles to adjust to her newfound intelligence. | |

"Flowers for Algernon" Syndrome | |
| Color Me Perfect / int_1062982b | comment |
"Flowers for Algernon" Syndrome: The formula makes both Dina and the chimps meaner and more aggressive, causing Linda to take them off it without telling either her or Mitch. Dina's intelligence decreases to normal level, rather than her previous level of disability. | |

Friend to All Children | |
| Color Me Perfect / int_75538142 | comment |
Friend to All Children: Dina is highly popular with the kids who visit the park due to her childlike personality, imagination, and storytelling skill. After she becomes a genius, she becomes much stricter and less friendly with the children. Once she goes off the formula, she seems to have gotten her old fondness for kids back, judging by her new job as special ed teacher. | |

Dramatic Drop | |
| Color Me Perfect / int_8163e2bb | comment |
Dramatic Drop: Early in her treatment, Dina overhears Mitch and Linda talking about how if she doesn't show signs of improvement soon, they'll have to pick another test subject. Dina is so dismayed that she drops the computer that's being used to test her intelligence. | |

Tantrum Throwing | |
| Color Me Perfect / int_ba0b808e | comment |
Tantrum Throwing: A side effect of the formula is increased irritability. One night the chimps go berserk and ransack the lab, throwing things around. Later, Dina angrily throws her malfunctioning cassette player to the ground, breaking it. | |
