Same with purple, they just seemed to go together.

Also think some of the words would be used in a different way in the phrases, either plurals, with another word or another letter added.

Yes, I think the lack of a plural on that word is just incorrect! And gives it an entirely new meaning

Got it but still feel unsatisfied! I was lucky that I saw the singular word while looking for the something close to the intended meaning rather than the more natural one for the singular form.

Agree, that word is always plural in that context surely.

Phew! Quite a few words that could have made the green category, I thought. Changed tack and actually got purples first - like a lot of you - and agree re the singular word that should have been plural.
