had to google a bit for the purples. I knew the connection but needed to check.
Nearly fell for the red herring.

Frustrating - I saw the red herring and sidestepped it, then blew it with a fat finger mistake.
No default.

Purple - not quite the same wording as them but I got the gist of the connection . And greens just seemed to go together.

Was sure purple would be a red herring! Only heard of two yellows but that was all that was left!

purple seemed rather obvious to me. I thought it would be a red herring.
