Fortunately I didn't see the red herring until I had solved 2 other categories, otherwise I think it would have got me.

Almost went straight in with the red herring but hadn’t heard of the fourth so held back (had to google afterwards to figure that one out!)

No default as I knew what purple was but I’m not familiar with one of them .

Got green and yellow (googled one word) then googled further which unintentionally revealed the answer. I was on the right lines with blues but didn’t know one of them.
