If I'd been able to see blue, purple would have been default

Purple - American terms again? Do other people say these things ? I've no idea what one of them refers to .

Chemenger · 05/06/2024 16:38

Purple has an American slant. All four need another word before them, I think.

I actually found today's quite easy. I even knew the connection for purple before hitting submit, for a change. I am in Canada, though, so if others are saying that there's an American slant to purple, maybe that was to my advantage.

I had a much more obvious connection for blue. Green is very nice.

I guessed the first one was probably going to be a red herring but had to get it out the way 😂 after that it was easy, no defaults got them all
