Aubergine is the equivalent of eggplant, not avocado, and it is accepted.

A few of these seem way off for the answers. Still got most of them by going by the written clue, but the colors shown sure threw me off.

Only one I didn't get was olive. Olives are a fruit?? It seems obvious now...but perhaps a clue like "Often found in martinis" would be more helpful haha.

It looks pretty much like a ruby colour on my monitor, amethyst is much more bluey/purple than that given as ruby. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amethyst

The 'Blue Winged Teal' has lovely coloured patches on top of spread wings. You don't notice it until they open out their wings and get a beautiful flash of this bluey-green colour.

Had a brain spark in the final 8 seconds of time and got the final three to ace it. Some of these are really open to interpretation - olive, for example...

Liqueurs are made by adding other flavours to standard liquors, making a weaker version of the base flavour (such as turning standard whiskeys into honey whiskeys). Chartreuse is not one of these; I think you'd find it hard to find anyone who would classify it as a liqueur - it's damn strong. Perhaps call it a hard liquor instead?

I had never heard of chartreuse, is it popular worldwide or just more locally?

after reading it, it reminded me of the cat breed, but that is written chartreux
