Green was a topic I know nothing about and purple feels like a stretch.

::: spoiler spoiler
Ciao/chow and Pitt/Pit are fine but I've never heard a pekinese referred to as a "peek", and what breed is palm even referring to?

::: spoiler spoiler I guess Palm refers to Pomeranian (or 'Pom'), but it's a massive stretch imo. :::

::: spoiler spoiler I've definitely heard peke before but palm and pom have 2 different vowel sounds in my dialect, though I think it's the same one for people with the father-bother merger :::

That was rough. A guessed green was what it was but was just guessing after the two people probably know best. Blue I think I just got lucky with a group that worked but wasn’t exactly what the group described.

First three seemed obvious but purple took me a good long while

purple is definitely last...

The US centric clues really annoy me, fortunately they don't occur that often.

Purple was frankly rubbish today πŸ™„
