I thought purple was a little nonspecific.
Didn’t expect the purple to be purple. Thought it might be a red herring but have it a shot.

Took me a minute
I got stuck on blue and purple yesterday, and put it aside for later. Then I forgot about it, so I didn’t finish. 
Looked up the answers, and I know absolutely nothing about Tarot cards. Despite looking intently for a fill-in-the-blank solution for purple, I didn’t see the one they were going for. So I might not have cracked it even if I’d remembered.
But I flew through today’s puzzle in mere seconds.

I found this the easiest puzzle for quite some time, took me under a minute. What was the red herring?
Batman movie titles.
Ah, I see it now. I had spent more time looking for it than I did solving the puzzle!

Pretty easy. Did not see the red herring, which helps.
Is is me or are red herrings with four options more common these days?
It might be just common with certain puzzle setters.
