::: spoiler spoiler Almost fell for the "Greek mythological figures" herring but there were too many: Atlas, Echo, Calliope, Electra, and Oedipus. Then when ringmaster didn't have any thematic connection purple popped out. At the end I was trying to figure out which category would end up being green vs yellow, and I got it right for once :::

I did not correctly guessed the order for green and yellow.

Honestly the difficulty for the non-purples seems random half the time
