I also didn’t know one of the blues nor that purple, but I guessed well and got a clean win (in no particular order). On reading @GuanoLad 's spoiler, I could actually have known that one: I’ve seen that movie, but didn’t realize it was Disney. There was also a trap answer for purple, but it was fair: A moment’s thought would have shown why it didn’t actually fit. Green was a bad category. You shouldn’t have a category description that includes one of the words. ---
