Yellow was the last one I saw. But I still saw it about as quickly as I usually see yellow; the others just jumped right out that quickly.

Blue/green is kind of math vs. verbal SAT tests and I put math first. The puzzle creator must have been a liberal arts major.

It’s Tuesday here. I don’t think I fully understood Purple. I assume they mean Mickey Mantle, a name I have vaguely heard of, but I don’t know what Emperors have to do with anything.

Never got purple and took forever to see green.

I think Batman would have been a better fourth Purple than Emperor.

Did anyone else notice that there was three quarters of a red herring? Foxtrot, hotel, and yankee are all letters in the NATO alphabet.

Purple was total leftovers for me, and I also have no idea what emperor was doing there. Though I also don’t get @Quimby 's suggestion of Batman.

Badly misjudged blue. Purple was leftovers.

Regarding purple, per Wikipedia:

A royal mantle, or more simply a Mantle, is a garment normally worn by emperors, kings or queens as a symbol of authority.

When other people stepped in to be Batman when Bruce Wayne was hurt or missing they would always refer to it as taking over the “mantle” of Batman. Meaning the duties and responsibilities of a position. In fact in the context of Batman and the phrase “mantle of leadership” are the only times I have ever heard the word used in this way.

The order made no sense to me and didn’t get green. Also googled one of the yellow to make sure but would have guessed it anyway.

Well, that might be the first time I thought the purple words were the yellow category.

And I thought the purple words were a red herring.

Yeah, purple was way too obvious to be right.

Frequently a category blatantly obvious to me ends up blue. This time it ended up yellow.
