  You really don't need to see the colors.  Keep watching the dots and look at the incline/decline of the putt (how many inches uphill/downhill).  If a putt is uphill it will be slower and if it is downhill it will be faster.  They key is figuring out how much faster/slower the putt will be based on the incline/decline.

  A basic rule of thumb I use is

   

  Incline:  Add 1 foot of power for each 1 inch of incline.  If more then five inches add a minimum of 6 feet.  If more then 10 inches add at least 12 or 13 feet. (this helps account for drag)

   

  Downhill:  Take away 1 foot of power for each inch down, but like above, you need to make sure you dont under hit.  So a 5 inch downhill at 15 feet,  I would hit at 10 foot of power.  A 1 foot drop at 30 feet, I would actually hit with nearly 20 feet of power.

  If you can make out the shades, brighter is steeper.
