I agree: "Ghost objects are given a random color attribute"

The color is an "attribute" of the object. So it should not change with each call to color.

Maybe the instructions have changed, but as they read now, I agree with vajdagabor. Currently the instructions say this:
ghost = Ghost.new
ghost.color #=> "white" or "yellow" or "purple" or "red"
In my reading, that means that the ghost object will always return the same color. The color is not returned on instantiation, it's returned on a the .color method call of that particular instance of the Ghost class.

I agree with eik3 definition of the expected task. I also though it should assing color only upon initialization. Yet Denym is totally right. If so, then the kata creator should of defined this with a test.
