Fairly simple today - 2 minutes but purple was last (again) as default.
My A Level biology helped me out.

I always say the purples were by default but…
They’re more like cyan. I got the flavour of the yellows and dashed out the greens.

With only 8 words, I got the blues in a minute.

This design is centered on a circular design of stylized science-related symbols, such as a flat-bottomed beaker, an atomic diagram, and a rocket in greens, orange, yellow, and black. The UNESCO logo and a QR code are arranged below. Above the circle, the words say, β€œWORLD SCIENCE DAY FOR PEACE AND DEVELOPMENT. 10 NOVEMBER 2025.”

The yellows took a few seconds, which is surprising as I almost got the greens first.
Blues fell into place and once again, purples by default.

There was a way of helping these people but the government sold the whole thing to private companies cheaply and they closed them down and sold off the buildings for a quick profit.

Damn those purples. Got by default once again.
I did consider that the greens were descriptions of me but I had my foil hat firmly on.
