Dumb luck for me on line 3. I was pretty sure of 3 of the 4, and had a 50/50 shot because I eliminated 2 of the 4 purples. And purple was by default.

I've never heard of one of the blues. Fortunately, after staring at the purple-and-blue mixture for awhile (I started late last night and went to sleep with the puzzle half done), I tried a shuffle, and that was enough to get me to see the purples.
