Wow. Fell for the herring, saw yellow and green easily enough then completely failed. I’ve never heard of two of those in blue and purple was just so stupid a connection but different that I’m not mad.
First 3 seemed obvious, then I saw a guess for purple though it felt like it couldn't really be the category because it seemed kind of... dumb I guess?

Nearly a perfect effort—rainbow herring as well, though!

I got blue, then green but I’ve found holding out a good guess helps me with getting the third.

Purple was a bit random
