That was a really fun one. Probably the first time I figured out all the categories before making a single guess.

Saw the theme right away, it's a fun one.
Unfortunately I'm just not very familiar with several expressions and some of the words fit in multiple categories.

Purple was the most apparent to me, like I saw yellow first, but missed a word. Then tried the other group I saw, which was purple. Green kind of popped out after guessing purple. And blue and yellow were complete guesses, I knew what the groups were supposed to be, but didn't know all of the expressions.

Rail and rock are completely foreign (pun intended). :::

::: spoiler Tap for spoiler Saw the theme pretty early, nice one too, but was having trouble sorting them at first. Went to “3rd” to actually get started. :::

Yellow and purple jumped out at me. I had to caffeinate my grey matter with a cup of coffee before seeing green and blue.

The hardest part for me was trying to decide which category would be purple, for the reverse rainbow.
