It might, but only if you identify a Color Spray being cast before it takes effect... personally, If you make the Spellcraft roll to recognize it as it's cast, I'd give you a +2 to the Saving Throw roll, but that's purely my house rule... of course, you are blinded for the whole round... or for the whole next round if you took your turn before the CS was cast.

It should work due to pattern spells creating an image and affecting the minds of those that see that image, but generally if you're just going to close your eyes for the moment the spell goes off I'd say that's what the save is for.
Peril-sensitive sunglasses are cooler anyway.

Oh something else I keep meaning ot ask. Does closing your eyes help at all vs color spray?
The really weird thing about Color Spray and other Pattern spells is that they're like Figment spells - they aren't real light, they're an illusion of light. But if a creature closes its eyes, does it still see an illusion? Presumably not, since that would automatically prove the illusion isn't real anyways...

Not sure what the intention was, but my brother is a biochemist and is always coming up with cool detailed interpretations for spells other than just... "Magic".
For color spray he used the rational that the spell warps the neural synapses of the target's neural pathways to cones in their eyes. This disturbs their ability to distinguish colors on the light spectrum and blending their vision together.
Stunned creatures are so overwhelmed by the blurred and warped colors of their vision, and blinded creatures have their nerves warped so much that they can't even distinguish outlines from the blended lights.
It might not be the most accurate, but it is at least fun to listen too.

I could never figure this spell out, for this reason:
Components V, S, M (red, yellow, and blue powder or colored sand)
If it was anything resembling an actual light display or a neural screw, it would be based in the colours that a person's light receptors recognize. It's not, so it needs to be a partially reflective surface, which doesn't fit at all with an illusion that can still be deployed in the dark.
