Spoiler: I don’t deserve the blue

I got it right for the wrong reason. I thought it was going to be purple and “nouns that are the object of their own verb”. For instance:

“You should plant the plant in spring”

I got lucky!

Similarly, I got the blues by thinking it was the order that you grow up/ become more responsible:

Plant - Pet - House - Baby

"Better to be lucky than good", and all that!

Purples were the first category I “saw” but took forever to get the right combo. I was going to be pissed if that wasn't a category, at all, and just an elaborate trap.
