I failed this one. I basically had no chance on blue, and doubt I could have gotten purple except by process of elimination since the theme was so vague.
Stupid one. I only got blue and purple thanks to conversations with someone else IRL. I had no idea about them.

I don't know any Magritte paintings apart from Ceci n'est pas une pipe. That's on me and my general knowledge, which is fair, I guess.
But umm. A bench in an entryway? And "console" to me is a PlayStation or a part of a car. It's not furniture in your home.
A runner is a person who runs. Runners can also be a type of shoe. Dunno what runner is in an entryway.

I'd never heard of a console being a table either, but a runner is a long rug. I was even trying to put together things in an entryway but couldn't get it because of console.
Magritte's pipe painting may be tied for fame with his Son of Man one which you may not know by name but you've probably seen. I'd even seen some of his cloud stuff after I searched him plus cloud, but I never would've put the category together.

I exaggerated slightly for effect in my above comment, because I am aware of a "table runner" being a piece of cloth run across the top of a table, above the table cloth. But I've definitely never heard of it as a carpet. Does that mean the "red carpet" of Hollywood would be more properly termed a "red runner"?

I guess, but I don't like it. A church is a house after all.
The only requirements are that it is significantly longer than wide and within a walking path. I.e. a carpet you walk/run on. That being said I would also impose the condition of it being indoors and rectangular. At that point the red carpet no longer is a runner.

Only got purple through process of elimination. Never would have guessed it in a million years otherwise.
Once it was down to blue and purple blue was obvious. Somewhere between binge watching HGTV for a time and reading Architectural Digest I learned what a console table and runner rug are.

::: spoiler Tap for spoiler Yeah purple and blue were tough today. One you need to know the paintings and the other seemed quite specific. :::

::: spoiler spoiler Console is pretty common.
I had no idea that runner carpet was called that in English as well though. :::

Happy to say I actually spotted the purple group.
Probably wouldn't have figured out purple either, but got it through process of elimination.
