I think technically the color of Buddhist monks' robes is saffron.

Saffron is more yellow than orange, to me.

Depends, saffron could refer to a range of colors.

Just like magenta depending on the shade could look like purple or pink.

And that’s only some monks. Tibetan Buddhist monastics’ robes are maroon, so it’s good that “red” is not one of the choices here.

Gray is though and that is what most the ones in Taiwan wear. Gray (Taiwan), orange (Thailand), and deep red/maroon (Tibet) all popped into my head immediately.

It depends on the branch of Buddhism, and different countries in Asia typically follow different branches.

Luke Skywalker used two different colored light sabers. Blue in Episodes 4, 5, and 8, and green in episode 6.

So it's a bit of a shot in the dark, the color he uses most often, or the color of the one he made himself. Maybe specify it's the color of the one he made?

Agreed. The wording is technically correct - the blue lightsaber is Anakin Skywalker's, he just happens to be using it. Perhaps a subtle hint could be given to help, like "The color of Luke Skywalker's own lightsaber."

Or maybe throw out that question to avoid the confusion.

The blue light saber is the one that Obi Wan gave him that had belonged to his father. So, if one were so inclined, you could argue that the one in 4, 5, and 8 was Anakin's light saber, and the one in 6 was Luke's. (I assume the one in 8 was recovered from his severed hand on Bespin.)

The green one is certainly iconic, but it's not the only answer, so the question should be more specific.

On first read of the Emperor of China question I thought yellow, but then I over-thought it and wondered if it was purple like the Roman Emperors. Should have stuck with my first instinct!

For the Dutch soccer team, the home kit should be specified because the away kits are typically blue.

The away kits are always changing, sometimes white, Euro 2012 was black, it's pretty clear he means the iconic orange.

The smell is so strong, I can't get near them. Guess that's why I didn't know what they look like inside

We picked guavas on Kaua'i so I knew the color, but I don't remember them having a disagreeable smell. I thought they had a similar taste and texture to pears with a hint of something tropical added.

Interesting the Emperor of China is the least guessed; that was the easiest question for me! Probably because I live in China.

I tried red because that's the color one always sees in Chinese restaurants. Silly me.

It's probably partially because people in the West associate purple with the imperial authority of the Roman Empire and then ,maybe, project that onto the colour of Chinese Imperial authority as well.

I thought it was red, because as far as I know - please correct me, as you know China better - red is seen as the colour of good luck or fortune and the name of the emperor was always written in red. Or maybe it was just the seal that was printed in red, but only the one of the emperor, not of other people.

Beluga whales actually can be dark, not as dark as for example orcas, but dark grry for sure and someone might even call it "black." It's of course very rare and a typicall colour of them is different, but maybe add (typically) as with the obsidian?

I thought the color of imperial China changed with each dynasty, often being red or yellow, with the final (Qing) dynasty using yellow.

I think of ruddy as being a dark orange, like brick color. I associate it with birds, as in the Ruddy duck.

I kind of "feel" it that way too, but it's not correct. I wonder how we both arrived at that incorrect sentiment.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ruddy

"Reddish in color, especially of the face, fire, or sky."

Not all Guavas have pink flesh! Most guava cultivars actually have yellow flesh. The pink cultivar is an exception but it's the one commonly found in the Americas, that's why it seems that all of them are pink. In Asia or the Middle East all guavas have yellow flesh.
